E don set for transfer market again as both Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola don lock horn for the signature of Paris Saint-Germain young baller Warren Zaire-Emery.
Arsenal just overtake Liverpool to top Premier League table before international break, and confidence dey high for Emirates. Fans don dey dream say this season fit finally bring trophy again since 2020 — all thanks to the mad squad depth wey Arteta don build.
Even when captain Martin Odegaard come out early for their 2–0 win over West Ham, Arsenal midfield still solid like granite.
But Arteta no dey chill, as reports from CaughtOffside Daily Briefing talk say the Spaniard wan strengthen midfield more with Zaire-Emery, who fit cost around £69 million. Unfortunately for Arsenal, Guardiola too don show interest.
Who Be Warren Zaire-Emery?
The 19-year-old PSG midfielder na one of the brightest young talents for Europe right now. Despite im age, he don already start six games this season for Luis Enrique side, showing composure and energy beyond him years.
Last season, he struggle break into first XI because of Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz, but this campaign, Zaire-Emery don prove say he no dey come play. He fit operate as both number 6 and 8 — sabi win tackle, sabi move ball, sabi press.
Stat even show say he don make 10 tackles — more than any PSG midfielder this season — and only Vitinha don carry ball go front pass am (948 yards). For 19 years old, that one mad.
Arsenal Really Need Am?
Arteta already get Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi for deeper midfield roles. Both go soon hit 27 years, so Zaire-Emery fit act as future plan — the kind player wey go grow under Arteta’s structure.
But make we reason am: this boy no go wan sit bench for long. Players like Pedri and Gavi don show say if you good, you start. So Arteta need assure am of game time, else City or another big team go carry am run.
One thing sure — if Arsenal fit sign am, na statement signing be that. Zaire-Emery get maturity, physicality, and ball sense to join the next generation of top midfield generals for Europe.
TPB Verdict
Zaire-Emery no be hype — na ready-made midfielder wey still get time to grow. Arsenal go benefit long term if dem pull this off, but City no go sit look. The battle go tough, but whoever win go collect future midfield monster.
