THE son of Arsenal legend Jose Antonio Reyes has signed his first professional contract with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Jose Antonio Reyes Junior, 16, has impressed the club with his performances for the B team since joining the academy in 2019.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And he has now put pen to paper on a pro deal – four years after the death of his father.<\/p>\n
Reyes Jr, who was a part of the Spain side that reached the semi-finals of the U17 Euros in May, said: "It is a very special moment for me.<\/p>\n
"I have signed my first professional contract with Real Madrid and I want to thank the club for its trust and my family for its daily support.<\/p>\n
"I will continue working and doing my best to go very far."<\/p>\n
Reyes Sr died in a car crash four years ago at the age of just 35.<\/p>\n He was killed alongside his cousin as the Mercedes they were travelling in came off the road and burst into flames near his hometown.<\/p>\n TV footage showed the charred wreck of the Mercedes Brabus S550V on its roof by the A-376 motorway near Alcala de Guadaira.<\/p>\n Reyes spent two and a half seasons at Arsenal, contributing 23 goals and 27 assists in 110 games.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n He was a part of Arsene Wenger's famous Invincibles side that did not lose a Premier League match during the 2003\/04 campaign on their way to the title.<\/p>\n He also won the FA Cup with the Gunners and reached the Champions League final in 2006, where they were beaten by Barcelona.<\/p>\n Reyes went on to play for a host of other big clubs including Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Sevilla.<\/p>\n ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: Stay up to date with all the latest transfer news and rumours from the Emirates<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>GUNNER BE HONEST <\/span><\/p>\n
