Warren Zaïre-Emery
Midfielder · Paris Saint-Germain
Warren Zaïre-Emery won a five-trophy sweep with PSG in 2025/26, but had to settle for bit-part minutes off France's bench at the 2026 World Cup.
Career
Zaïre-Emery played 54 matches for PSG in 2025/26, recording 3 goals and 4 assists across 2,453 Ligue 1 minutes as the club swept the Trophée des Champions, Coupe de France, Ligue 1, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup.
That form did not translate into a starting World Cup role: he missed out on a starting place in the Champions League final for PSG and, at the World Cup, made his tournament debut with only 19 minutes off the bench in a 2-0 win over Morocco.
How they play
A central midfielder equally comfortable as an auxiliary right-back, Zaïre-Emery's game combines defensive discipline with late runs into the box — the positional flexibility that made him useful to Luis Enrique at PSG even in a stacked midfield.
Where they are now
Reports out of France's camp described Zaïre-Emery as increasingly frustrated with Didier Deschamps over his lack of World Cup minutes, a sharp contrast to the trophy-laden season he had just delivered for PSG.
