VIDEO: Zaire-Emery on balancing football and studying
France's never-ending conveyor belt of footballing talent appears to have thrown up its next superstar in Paris Saint-Germain's midfield prodigy Warren Zaire-Emery, who earned a call-up to the full national team.
Zaire-Emery is just 17 years and eight months old, and if he plays for Didier Deschamps' side in either of their final Euro 2024 qualifiers against Gibraltar and Greece, he will become the youngest France player since before World War I.
His rise has been remarkable and vertigo-inducing, since he made his first-team debut for PSG on the opening day of last season in August 2022 at the age of 16 years and five months.
"Well, I'm doing my classes at the same time. For example, yesterday, I was doing my Spanish homework," he told reporters when asked how he combines his studies with training sessions.
He went on to add: "But I try to organise myself whenever I have time, I do my homework and I try to do both at the same time, as best as possible, to alternate both training after 12 p.m. and a few classes before the session. I don't have a problem with that."
