Kylian Mbappe may be the main man at Paris Saint-Germain but it appears he has been surpassed by a new team-mate in terms of shirt sales, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar in the summer left Mbappe to dominate the spotlight at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n
However, he is receiving some competition in the form of new signing\u00a0Lee Kang-in.<\/p>\n
Journalist Abdellah Boulma tweeted: ‘very popular since his arrival from Mallorca for \u00a320m, the South Korean Kang-in Lee is the Parisian who sells the most jerseys. (Slightly ahead of Mbappe).<\/p>\n
PSG signed South Korea international Kang-in from Real Mallorca in the summer.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbappe has not been PSG’s top shirt seller this season, according to reports<\/p>\n
The midfielder, 22, signed a five-year-deal with the French champions but has seen his start to life in France impacted by injury and national team duty.<\/p>\n
South Korean fans are known for their passionate support of their own with the likes of Son Heung-min treated like royalty in the country.<\/p>\n
This could explain the large number of shirt sales since his arrival in Paris.<\/p>\n
Mbappe is also in the midst of his sixth season with PSG meaning most of his fans would have already got their hands on one of his shirts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
22-year-old Lee Kang-in arrived from Mallorca in the summer and is hugely popular\u00a0<\/p>\n
The French champions haven’t had the best start to the season, winning just four of their opening eight matches in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n
They were also thrashed 4-1 by Newcastle in the Champions League earlier this month.<\/p>\n
