The 26-year-old, who joined the Gunners from Dinamo Zagreb in 2007, has been rewarded for his form since recovering from a badly broken leg.

The Croatia international was sidelined for almost a year after suffering in the injury in February 2008.

He has now scored 18 goals in 48 first-team appearances for Arsene Wenger's team.

Arsenal have not confirmed the length of the deal but are pleased to have further secured the player's services.

Wenger told the club's website, www.arsenal.com: "We're delighted that Eduardo has signed a new long-term contract with us.

"Eduardo is a special player with huge talent and natural goalscoring ability, and we're all so happy that he has committed his future to Arsenal Football Club.

"We have also seen in his comeback from injury, Eduardo is a human being full of courage, bravery and commitment.

"His full recovery from this injury is a testament to Eduardo's character. We all look forward to enjoying Eduardo's performances in an Arsenal shirt for a long time to come."

Eduardo suffered his injury in a challenge from Birmingham's Martin Taylor in an infamous game at St Andrews.
