Eduardo Ribeiro dos Santos (born 5 August 1980 in São João, Piauí) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as striker.

Born in Brazil, Eduardo applied for Swiss citizenship in September 2006 after having lived in Switzerland for six years, thus enabling him to play for the Swiss national team.[1]

Career in France

Eduardo scored his first goal for Guingamp, a penalty against Strasbourg.[2] He gained many admirers due to his versatile play exhibited with Grasshoppers playing opposite Richard Nuñez.

On 9 May 2009, Eduardo wrote his name into French football history by scoring both his team's goals in a 2–1 triumph in the Coupe de France final against Stade Rennais FC, despite his side being a Ligue 2 club at the time.[3]

Eduardo joined promoted Ligue 1 club RC Lens in July 2009 after agreeing to a three-year deal.[4]

After two stints with AC Ajaccio, Eduardo signed an eighteen-months contract with Ligue 2 club FC Metz in January 2014.[5]
