The Croatia international has made a relatively quiet start to his Gunners career since moving from Dinamo Zagreb in July but scored his first competitive goal in his second start for the Gunners against Sparta Prague last week.
Wenger put him back on the bench for Sunday's 3-1 win over Portsmouth but has been told the 24-year-old has a tendency to start slowly and then make giant leaps forward.
"Slaven Bilic (Croatia coach) told me that in his first two or three games for the national team Eduardo was a bit inhibited but then he suddenly exploded," said Wenger.
"Like every striker who comes in he feels he has to score goals. You saw him play on the left against Sparta and he was very lively. He made one goal and scored one himself.
"For me Eduardo is a fantastic player."
