After the surprising departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar, the club depends on Kylian Mbappe this season to provide the results. But according to one pundit, PSG has a hopeful replacement as its first South Korean youngster shows promise.

Since the takeover by the new owners in 2011, the club has been successful in winning a lot of Ligue 1 titles. The club also invested in players like David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to raise the reputation. Nevertheless, the club aims to recruit exceptional prospects and develop them internally.

Kylian Mbappe’s teammate’s left foot compared to Lionel Messi

The left foot of Lionel Messi will continue to unravel mysteries for the magic he weaved throughout his career. In the meantime, his former club signed Kang-In Lee with a similar gift, according to David Ginola. The former PSG player claimed, “There is a left foot that looks a lot like Messi’s left foot.” Ginola was a former PSG player who is a well-wisher of the club and provides opinions regularly.

Kang-In Lee is one of the many new colleagues for Kylian Mbappe at PSG. The initial conversations regarding Lee as the potential successor to Messi put up on a high note following those performances. A highly skilled winger, Lee is a prolific dribbler and moves the ball swiftly with the left foot, which drew him the accolade.

The Korean star was the next big thing from Asia in soccer. Having won the U20 World Cup Golden Ball in 2019, the player arrived at PSG four months ago with lofty expectations. However, the star has only two goals and an assist in 10 games for the club. Lee will look to help them win their first continental trophy apart from his off-field heroics.
