Reyes will not return to Arsenal
Jose Antonio Reyes
Reyes believes he is back in Spain for good
On-loan winger Jose Antonio Reyes insists he does not ever want to return to Arsenal from Real Madrid.

The Spain international moved to Real on transfer deadline day with Julio Baptista going the other way, and both deals are expected to become permanent.

He told FourFourTwo magazine: "I do not think I failed in the Premiership but English football is very hard.

"I struggled to adapt to England and so did my family. I do not even want to think about going back."

The 23-year-old added: "Everything in England is shut at 5pm, there is nothing to do, nowhere to go. I just got bored.

"I would not say it is a relief to be back in Spain, but I am happy here.

"I always wanted to come to Real Madrid and would love to end my career here.

"Hopefully we will win something this season to prove we are a new Madrid and it will go from there. I am convinced we can."
