    Eduardo loving life at Arsenal</p>
    <div id="teaserText" class="teaserText">Arsenal striker Eduardo Da Silva already feels at home in England.</div>

    The Brazilian-born Croatian hitman arrived at the Emirates Stadium in an &pound;8million deal from Dynamo Zagreb just after the sale of star man Thierry Henry during the summer.</p>

    Having impressed in pre-season, the 24-year-old opened his Arsenal account in the Champions League qualifier against Sparta Prague and doubled his European tally with a close-range effort in the final minute of the 3-0 win over Sevilla.</p>

    Eduardo also has an impressive strike-rate for his country, netting both goals against Estonia the recent Euro 2008 qualifiers.</p>

    The forward, who can also operate wide on the flanks, is more than happy with the way he has quickly settled and made the change to a new footballing culture.</p>

    Eduardo said: "Of course it has been a lot different playing in England than it was playing in Croatia. But there is a better atmosphere at the grounds with more fans. It is a new experience and I am really enjoying it.</p>

    "Arsenal is such a big club and it is great to be training here every day. There are differences now, because I was also captain at Dynamo, and everybody looked up to me.</p>

    GREAT PRIORITY</p>

    "Here it is different because everybody is a big player. So that is something you have to adapt to."</p>

    "Goals are always important for a striker, and that first one has lifted a lot of the pressure from me. Hopefully I will be back scoring a lot more for Arsenal very soon."</p>

    Arsenal can retain their position at the top of the Barclays Premier League with victory at West Ham United on Saturday. The Carling Cup win over Newcastle United in midweek - achieved by a young side - was the Gunners' seventh in a row, and came on the back of the club's parent company returning strong financial results.</p>

    Manager Arsene Wenger has urged for a degree of caution, despite the optimistic start to a campaign which had looked so uncertain following Henry's departure to Barcelona. Confidence within the squad, though, remains high.</p>

    Eduardo declared: "We can challenge for the title. We have great priority on the league, because being champions has you marked down as the best team.</p>

    "It is also important to do well in Europe, but the league is where it is at for me."</p>
