Jose Antonio Reyes: Former Arsenal winger dies aged 35

Former Arsenal winger Jose Antonio Reyes has died in a car accident aged 35, Spanish club Sevilla have announced.

"We couldn't offer any worse news", the La Liga club said on Twitter.

The Spaniard joined the Gunners from the La Liga side in January 2004 and was part of the 'Invincibles' side that went through the 2003-04 season unbeaten, winning the Premier League.

He later spent a season on loan at Real Madrid in 2006-07, winning La Liga.

After leaving the Gunners in 2007 he won the Europa League twice at Atletico Madrid and three times at Sevilla.

In January , the former Spanish international joined Spanish second division strugglers Extremadura.

Last year, it was reported that Reyes was set to return to Arsenal as a coach under Unai Emery, who he played for at Sevilla.

Reyes joined Arsenal in a deal worth about £17m in 2004 and in May 2005, he became the second player to be sent off in an FA Cup final, as Arsenal beat Manchester United in a penalty shoot-out.

He also played in the 2006 Champions League final as the Gunners lost 2-1 to Barcelona.

The La Liga club paid tribute to the "eternal legend", adding he was "one of the most valuable home grown players in the history of the club".

Reyes leaves behind his wife Noelia Lopez, who he married in June 2017, and three children, daughters Noelia and Triana and son Jose Antonio Jr from a previous relationship.


Henry leads tributes to 'exceptional human' Reyes

Arsenal paid tribute to their former player, saying they are "devastated by the shocking news".

Gunners legend Thierry Henry, who played alongside Reyes between 2004-2007, called him a "wonderful player, superb team-mate and exceptional human being".

"I wish his family and friends continued strength and courage to get through this difficult time. #takenfartoosoon", he added on Twitter.

Ex team-mate Freddie Ljungberg said: "Numbed by the news about my former team-mate, Jose Antonio Reyes. Gone far too soon, my thoughts are with his family and friends."

His current club Extremadura said in a statement on Twitter: "With a broken heart Extremadura UD announce the death of their player Jose Antonio Reyes in a traffic accident."

Reyes' final match was a 1-0 win at Alcorcon on 18 May. The Spanish second division side are scheduled to face Cadiz away from home on Sunday.


A career full of trophies

In the 1999-2000 season, Reyes made his debut aged just 16 years old - the youngest in Sevilla's history.

After leaving the Gunners in 2007 he won the Europa League twice at Atletico Madrid and three times at Sevilla.

In January, Reyes, who won the 2006 World Cup with Spain, joined Spanish second division strugglers Extremadura.

Last year, it was reported that Reyes was set to return to Arsenal as a coach under Unai Emery, who he played for at Sevilla.

Reyes joined Arsenal in a deal worth about £17m in 2004 and in May 2005, he became the second player to be sent off in an FA Cup final, as Arsenal beat Manchester United in a penalty shoot-out.

He also played in the 2006 Champions League final as the Gunners lost 2-1 to Barcelona.

I have a three way signed photo of him with Henry and Ljunberg on my living room wall holding the 2004 League trophy.

Remember him and Ronaldo were rival golden boys back in the day

One of my favourite Highbury memories is the two goals Reyes scored v Chelsea in the cup. Talked my Granddad’s ear off about him all the way home. 35 is way too young.

Will never forget that goal he scored against Chelsea at Highbury in the cup. Still one of my favourite Arsenal goals. Was becoming world class before the Neville’s kicked shit out of him.

RIP Jose Antonio Reyes.
