Tenerife footballer Jesús de Miguel has died at the age of 30 after a collision on the pitch, according to Sky News. The death was reported on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, and was carried by several outlets including BBC, The Guardian and ESPN.
De Miguel was a striker for the Spanish club. Sky News and the BBC both reported that his death followed the on-field incident, though further details of the collision were not included in the reporting summarised here.
Tributes came from England's top flight, with ESPN reporting that Arsenal and Manchester United were among the Premier League clubs to honour the player. Al Jazeera also reported on the incident, publishing coverage that focused on the opposing goalkeeper, Owono, and whether he would face any punishment in connection with De Miguel's death.
The club has not issued a statement carried in the source material, and no funeral or memorial arrangements have been reported.
Spanish football and the wider game now wait to see whether any disciplinary process follows. Al Jazeera's reporting indicates questions have been raised about the goalkeeper involved, and any decision on that front would be the next development to watch.
