Arsenal Set Sights on Versatile PSG Standout Wanted by Real Madrid

)

Fichajes reports that Arsenal isn’t satisfied with just signing Martín Zubimendi—they’re already working to add a second key player to their midfield: Zaïre-Emery.

At 19, Zaïre-Emery has made over 100 appearances for PSG but hasn’t secured a regular starting spot, which has fueled speculation about a possible move. Even though his contract runs until 2029, his situation at PSG could open the door if Arsenal comes with a strong offer.

Arteta values Zaïre-Emery’s versatility, praising his ability to play multiple roles—from midfielder to full-back, and even central defender in a back three.

This comes after a report in April that Real Madrid has shown sudden interest in the French midfielder. However, French media say PSG has no plans to let Zaïre-Emery go anytime soon. The young French international is tied to the club through 2029 and seems set to continue his development in Paris. It’ll be interesting to see if PSG hold the same line when Arsenal steps up.
