Whilst still a 17 year-old, Arsenal paid the massive fee of £10.5million to bring José Antonio Reyes to the Premier League.
It soon appeared to be a wise investment following some stunning performances.
José joined Arsenal in January 2004 with a contract to June 2008 that was extended to June 2011 in July 2005.
He died in June 2019 at the age of 35 following a car accident while travelling between Utrera and Seville.Club history
