The World Cup winner is getting close to a statistic set by Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain, and threatens the Swede striker.

Kylian Mbappé has been a world class scorer since he joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 from AS Monaco. He is even the current Ligue 1 top scorer with 15 goals. This young striker played always well and consistently, and this made him one of the best players that this club has ever had.

As a consequence, his statistics show great things. And in one of them, he is threatening a record that Zlatan Ibrahimovic had set some years ago, when he played for that team and became a legend. But nothing lasts forever, and that place might be soon to be taken by Kylian.

Because he scored 107 goals with PSG, two less than Pedro Pauletato become the third top scorer in the history of the club. Up in that list is Zlatan with 156, so he is the next hurdle to overcome to Mbappé. The top scorer ever is the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, who scored 200 goals.

There are rumours about Kylian Mbappé leaving PSG to join Real Madrid. His contract will expire in 2022 and he is still thinking whether he will extend it or not. But if he stays, it is clear that he will be surely make history with this club, which he took with Neymar and many more to its first UEFA Champions League final ever.
