Former Arsenal and Dundee cult hero Fabian Caballero has died aged 46.

Born in Paraguay, the combative forward was signed by Arsene Wenger in 1998 but made only three appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.

Unable to force his way into the first team ahead of the likes of Nicolas Anelka, Nwankwo Kanu and Dennis Bergkamp, Caballero returned to his native Paraguay and rejoined Atletico Tembetary.

The Paraguayan FA said in a statement: ‘The Paraguayan Football Association deeply regrets the passing of former footballer, Fabián Caballero, who had an outstanding career both in Paraguayan football and abroad.

‘We accompany the family and friends in this difficult time.’
