Reyes said: "I am so happy to have extended my contract with Arsenal and I'm looking forward to having many more successful years with the club.
"I'm working hard in pre-season training at the moment and am getting ready for next season, when I will do my best to help the club challenge for all the available trophies."
Clichy was similarly delighted to have signed a new deal.
"I hope too that we will win trophies next season and that I will have the opportunity to prove to the club and the fans that they were right to give me a new contract," he told Arsenal's website."
