“Want Him to Become PSG’s Steven Gerrard” – President Nasser Al Khelaifi Drops Massive Warren Zaire Emery Confession

One PSG summer transfer departure had left fans visibly concerned. It was not Lionel Messi nor Neymar but midfield maestro Marco Verratti, who was regarded as the club’s best midfielder. Yet, come January, PSG hasn’t missed a beat in midfield, largely to the credit of Warren Zaire Emery. The 17-year-old has been a revolution such that President Nasser Al Khelaifi is quite impressed while making a point about his education and family background and how he’s already become ‘an example‘.

Warren Zaire Emery, who through his brilliant performances for PSG, has already made his debut for the French National Team as its youngest player ever. The midfielder suffered an injury while on international duty and was ruled out for several weeks. Both Luis Enrique and President Khelaifi will be wanting their young sensation back as soon as possible.

‘Stay his whole life here’, PSG’s President reveals his plan for Warren Zaire Emery

Al Khelaifi is a big fan of the Frenchman as per his conversation with RMC Sport. He explained, “I want him to become PSG’s Steven Gerrard, I want him to stay his whole life here. He comes from here, he loves the club, he loves the badge.” The President also spoke about what is impressive about the French international. He said, “He’s a great boy. As a player, we have no doubt about him, but as a person too. His education, his family… Really, I really like him. He is an example for young people“. Huge praise from the PSG chief.

Just like Steven Gerrard was for the Reds, Warren Zaire Emery is an academy product and has been quite connected to PSG’s senior team. Perhaps this could be the main reason why the President is hopeful of securing his long-term future. Also, the teenager comes across as quite humble in interviews and coach Luis Enrique had previously attributed this to high education & schooling.

With 2 goals and 2 assists in 14 matches, the Frenchman is capable of deciding a game. Yet, his influence goes much beyond numbers and it is his intelligence that has made him central to Luis Enrique’s plans.

Luis Enrique thinks very highly of 17-year-old Emery

Referred to as a ‘diamond‘ by Luis Enrique, Warren Zaire Emery shares a lot of characteristics with Yaya Toure. His powerful ball-carrying and blend of physical and technical attributes are reminiscent of the former Man City veteran. Yet, his game understanding is second to none as he identifies space on the pitch and can get the ball there via a pass or a dribble.

As per his coach, Warren Zaire Emery’s biggest qualities are his positioning and humility. Yet, there are still things to improve, as he is not an elite passer yet. However, Luis Enrique described him as easy to coach, and the Frenchman will inevitably emerge as one of the best midfielders in the world soon.
