Paris Saint-Germain faces a challenging task in the upcoming summer transfer window as they look for a replacement for their all-time top scorer Kylian Mbappé, who has decided to leave "Princes' Park" at the end of the current season. The 25-year-old announced his departure from the French capital club after spending seven years with them, with expectations that he will join Real Madrid in one of the biggest free transfers in football history. Mbappé has an impressive scoring record with PSG since 2017, netting 256 goals in 307 appearances across all competitions, along with 108 assists. Thus, the task for the French league champions to find a suitable alternative for the 2018 World Cup winner won't be easy at all. Below are five potential candidates from the English Premier League to replace Mbappé at PSG.
**Marcus Rashford**
The name of the English forward from Manchester United, Marcus Rashford, has been linked with a move to the French capital as a potential replacement for Mbappé. Despite a disappointing season for the 26-year-old, a new experience could help the "Red Devils" striker regain his form and showcase his best levels as seen last season when he scored 30 goals and provided 10 assists in 56 matches.
**Alexander Isak**
Swedish star Alexander Isak, Newcastle United's striker, is expected to be a target for several top clubs in Europe during the summer transfer window, including Paris Saint-Germain. The 24-year-old forward has drawn attention with his remarkable performance in the Premier League, scoring 20 goals in 28 matches despite missing some games due to injury. Isak is considered one of the top potential replacements for Mbappé, especially as he is younger than the French star and possesses a diverse skill set that allows him to play in multiple attacking positions.
**Luis Díaz**
The Colombian winger for Liverpool, Luis Díaz, has also been linked to a move to Paris Saint-Germain recently as the club seeks to compensate for Mbappé's departure. The 27-year-old has caught the eyes of PSG officials with his fantastic abilities and good performances since joining Liverpool in January 2022, contributing to 37 goals across 96 matches, including 24 goals and 13 assists.
**Heung-min Son**
Although he is older, South Korean striker Heung-min Son of Tottenham is recognized as one of the most intelligent and talented players, boasting an excellent goal-scoring record that makes him a candidate to replace Mbappé in coach Luis Enrique's lineup next season. The 31-year-old has adapted to the playing style of Spurs' coach Ange Postecoglou as a central forward, contributing 26 goals in the Premier League this season (17 goals and 9 assists), making him a suitable alternative for the French striker.
**Gabriel Martinelli**
Arsenal's coach Mikel Arteta heavily relies on Brazilian international Gabriel Martinelli in the starting lineup during the crucial stages of the current season, leading the 22-year-old to consider a move for a new challenge. Transferring to PSG would provide Martinelli with a golden opportunity to become a key player in the attacking line, which has not been available in the London club during this period.
