Eduardo, 29, has found his appearances for Shakhtar limited in recent times and was thought to be nearing a move away, with Fulham linked as a possible destination.

The former Arsenal striker, who left the Premier League in 2010, though, has denied any knowledge of a potential return to England.

"I know as much as you. I read it in the media," Eduardo told Sportske Novosti. "No one else has contacted me or asked for an opinion.

"You know how it goes with transfers, I learned that even at Dinamo. Someone asks the club about me, that club then gets mentioned and immediately it's a done deal.

"That's why I no longer recoil on these stories, we only talk if and when an offer comes to the club. Of course it's nice to hear that I am mentioned in England, especially if there is Premier League interest."
