Reyes loving it in London

Reyes says he is more than happy in London and dismissed reports of him returning to Spain next season.

Reyes has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid but maintains that he is happy at Arsenal and wants to play at the new Emirates Stadium next season.

Reyes said: "I have to admit at the beginning of my stay in England, I did struggle a little bit and I thought about leaving the team.

"Now, with the help of my family and colleagues, I am very happy here and don't want to leave.

"No particular player helped me - we all help each other and I could not single out one person from my family because they all helped as well.

"Privately, they were telling me England is not such a bad place and just because I didn't speak English, it shouldn't be a barrier for my happiness at Arsenal.
