Just yesterday, with the 23-year-old Brazilian in London for his medical examination, it seemed that the former-Santista was heading for West Ham.
Yet, less than 24-hours later, with a lack of progress coming out of Upton Park, it appears that the club are looking elsewhere, with striker Nicky Maynard close to signing a deal this evening.
The decision is a blow for Ze Eduardo, who had struggled to settle in Italy and was looking to get his career back on track in England.
