Bluffing since the start of the season with PSG where he established himself as an important starter, Warren Zaire-Emery was logically rewarded with a call-up to the Blues last week. On Saturday against Gibraltar, the Parisian will have the opportunity to become the youngest French international in the post-war era, at 17 years old.

“It is fascinating! He is mature, he plays with personality, he is modern, in impact too, he is there. We have to accompany him, I have no advice to give himinsisted the French striker at a press conference this Friday. Even if he makes mistakes, he will be able to progress. I feel old when I see him coming. It’s nonsense, he does his homework and he plays three times a week! He has to be himself, we have to protect him outside.»
