Arsenal transfer news: Gunners really keen on PSG starlet Zaire-Emery

By Jordan Harris

Arsenal are particularly interested in Paris Saint-Germain youngster Warren Zaire-Emery, with several clubs keen on signing the 16-year-old prospect, according to RMC Sport.

Zaire-Emery does not turn 17 until March. But he is already getting involved in the first-team fold at Parc des Princes. In fact, he has already appeared nine times for the senior side.

He made his first start in Ligue 1 at the weekend as PSG were beaten 1-0 by Rennes. And it seems that his emergence is not going unnoticed elsewhere.

RMC Sport reports that a number of clubs want the teenager, who has been described as ‘extraordinary’ in the piece. And one of the sides who really like him is Arsenal.

It is noted that he is represented by Jorge Mendes’ agency. And clubs are working to try and convince him to make a future move away from the French capital.

It would certainly appear that Zaire-Emery is in line to become the latest seriously exciting midfielder to emerge from France in recent times. There is so much talent coming through in the country. And he is another name to keep an eye on.

Remarkably, Zaire-Emery was actually born on the day Arsenal drew 0-0 with Real Madrid in the Champions League. Of course, that particular tie is better known for the reverse meeting between the pair, when Thierry Henry powered through the Real defence to stun the Bernabeu.

It is obviously a very exciting time to join Arsenal. Mikel Arteta’s men are back amongst the heavyweights in the Premier League, currently leading the table by some distance.

And they will hope that their progress encourages Zaire-Emery to consider a move to the Emirates in the future.
