MADRID: A minute's silence will be held for Jose Antonio Reyes before the Champions League final after the former Arsenal, Real Madrid and Spain forwardReyes shot to fame at Sevilla and secured a switch to Arsenal, where he was part of the unbeaten"Invincibles" 2003-2004 Premier League winners, before spells at Real and Atletico Madrid.UEFA announced they would hold a minute's silence in his honour ahead of the final in Madrid between Tottenham and Liverpool.
Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger signed Reyes on the back of Spain's Under-19's European championships win where he played alongside Fernando Torres and Andres Iniesta, and a dazzling series of matches with Sevilla the following season."I am devastated to hear the terrible news about Jose," Wenger said."To his family and friends, all support from everyone in the Arsenal family. He will remain forever in our hearts.
"Beloved Sevilla star Jose Antonio Reyes has died in a traffic collision. Rest in peace," Sevilla, where he spent two four-year spells, said on Twitter. Spain captain Sergio Ramos, who is also from the province of Seville, came through the youth team just after Reyes and later played with him at Real Madrid also tweeted his grief.
After leaving Sevilla in 2016, Reyes played for Espanyol, Cordoba and Xinjiang Tianshan in China, before arriving at Extremadura this year as a free agent.
