Kylian Mbappe loses PSG's top shirt seller spot this season

The French star is likely to leave PSG next summer

Although Kylian Mbappe may be the star player at Paris Saint-Germain, indications suggest that an unfamiliar colleague has eclipsed him in terms of shirt sales.

Mbappe has taken the stage at Parc des Princes since Lionel Messi and Neymar left in the course of the summer.

Lee Kang-in, a recent signing, is posing some challenges for him. According to a tweet from journalist Abdellah Boulma, South Korean Kang-in Lee is the Parisian who sells the most shirts after moving there for £20 million from Mallorca. (A little bit before Mbappe).

Kang-in, a South Korean international, was acquired by PSG this summer from Real Mallorca. The 22-year-old midfielder signed a five-year contract with the French champions, but injury and national team duties have delayed his adjustment to life in France.

Fans in South Korea are renowned for their fervent loyalty to their countrymen, with people like Son Heung-min receiving royal treatment there.

The significant increase in shirt sales after his presence in Paris may be explained by this.

Mbappe is also in the middle of his sixth season with PSG, which means that the majority of his admirers have already obtained one of his jerseys.

The Ligue 1 winners from France haven't had the finest start to the year, winning just four of their first eight games.

Newcastle also destroyed them 4-1 previously this month in the Champions League.
