"We are talking about a guy gifted with extraordinary talent. He blossomed very early. That's why Didier called him up. When your club coach picks you as one of the first names on the team's list at the age of 17, it means you radiate something that cannot be stopped.

He has a bit of Paul Pogba's strength and N'Golo Kante's ability to take the ball away. Zaire-Emery is a combination of the two 2018 World Cup champions, with his ability to win matches without committing fouls and then run into the attack and show his great vision of the game... He also has a bit of Patrick Vieira in him. A box-to-box midfielder, as the English say," Le Parisien quoted Wenger as saying.
