Arsenal will be Man City's main title challengers this season | Football Digest<\/h3>\n

Arsenal icon Thierry Henry believes teenager Warren Zaire-Emery\u2019s ability is \u2018not normal\u2019 for a player of his age. Henry has coached Zaire-Emery in his new role as France\u2019s U21s head coach and has been wowed by the midfielder\u2019s performances for Paris Saint-Germain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zaire-Emery shone for the Parisians in their 3-0 Champions League triumph over AC Milan on Tuesday night. The 17-year-old, who has previously been linked with Arsenal but cannot sign for an English club until his 18th birthday, bagged two assists and was named man of the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henry is a big fan and insists the youngster defied his age by having such huge control over the game. The former Gunners star also pointed out that Zaire-Emery was one of the best players during PSG\u2019s 4-1 thrashing by Newcastle earlier this month and has shown incredible maturity since breaking into the first team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Warren Zaire-Emery is playing, it is just not normal to run the show [for a] 17-year-old,\u201d Henry told CBS Sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the only one who held his own at St James\u2019 Park. He has been magnificent at the moment. Sky is the limit. I have never seen a player that young being so mature. This guy has no limit, for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some fans might see the compliment as Henry dealing a snub to England ace Jude Bellingham. A fellow midfielder, Bellingham, 20, is also known for possessing maturity beyond his years. However, Henry clearly believes that Zaire-Emery is a unique talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After being awarded man of the match for his display against Milan, the youngster told reporters: “I am very happy to be man of the match. It was a team effort and we did it all together and had fun. We are a team and it shows on the field. We make every effort for each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
