Reyes returns to Arsenal

Last updated at 17:50pm on 13th July 2007

Real Madrid have sent Jose Antonio Reyes back to Arsenal after the two clubs were unable to agree a fee, according to reports in Spain.

The 23-year-old winger moved to the Bernabeu as part of a loan swap deal with forward Julio Baptista, who failed to earn a permanent move to the Gunners.

Reyes initially failed to impress but he scored two goals in Madrid's title-clinching 3-1 win over Mallorca on the final day of last season.

Real opened talks with Arsenal over the Spanish international but baulked at the £13m price tag.

Reyes joined Arsenal from Sevilla for £16m in January 2004 and recently signed a contract extension to 2011.

Hope Reyes would perform better.. Neutral

So Baptista returns to Real Madrid?

Whatever it is, I welcome him back to Arsenal. The Gunners really need more players for the upcoming season. Maybe without Henry, he would perform better. Actually I have been waiting for Reyes-van Persie strike partnership but never materialise. Reyes played better as a striker than a winger, imo.
