Reyes' English concern

Jose Antonio Reyes believes it is hard to learn English due to the foreigners at Arsenal.

Jose Antonio Reyes believes it is hard to learn English at Arsenal because there are too many foreign speaking players at the club.

The pacey winger has been with The Gunners since January 2004, but with so many Spanish and French players in the squad he has found is hard to develop his English.

However, the 22-year-old is picking up words as he goes along and is a lot happier at Highbury than his early days in England.

"We've got six or seven players who speak Spanish and more that speak French - there's very little English," explained Reyes. "It's difficult for me to learn English.

"My girlfriend has had no problems speaking English, but I guess that is because she is more intelligent than me. But I'm a lot happier at Arsenal now.
