Warren Zaïre-Emery is rediscovering his best form, and it’s no coincidence. Under Luis Enrique, the 19-year-old midfielder is steadily climbing back to an elite level. Once seen as the future crack and now wearing the captain’s armband, he’s entering a new phase of maturity and leadership.
After a difficult season and a demotion with France’s U21s, Zaïre-Emery has rebuilt his confidence.
“I feel good. Going with the U21s helped me regain confidence, touch the ball, play forward. I’m enjoying football again,” he said, with a clear dream in sight: the 2026 World Cup with Les Bleus.

It’s easy to forget — he was born in 2006. He could play a World Cup at just 19.
Luis Enrique’s Crucial Role
According to Le Parisien, Luis Enrique showed patience. He rebuilt Zaïre-Emery by giving him trust, minutes, and responsibility. Whether or not others were injured, WZE earned his spot. Inside the club, he is praised for his professionalism — always listening, always learning.
An internal source sums it up: “He’s not just a great player — he’s a great person.”
A Key Summer of Work
After battling ankle pain last season, Zaïre-Emery put in a serious summer of preparation. The results are clear: he is now the most-used outfield player by Luis Enrique (765 minutes, even ahead of Hakimi).
Luis Enrique has shaped a calmer, stronger, more commanding midfielder — one capable of leading PSG at only 19. Now, it’s up to Zaïre-Emery to turn this resurgence into legacy.
