3 signings that can make PSG unstoppable

N'Golo Kante

However, despite their big-budget acquisitions, the club had another dissatisfying season as they failed to clinch the UEFA Champions League trophy yet again. Les Parisiens were ignominiously knocked out of the tournament by the 13-time Champions League winners, Real Madrid, in the Round of 16 only.

Nevertheless, PSG had a star-spangled domestic season in which they won both the Ligue 1 and Coupe de France titles with ease. As such, the club's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, will essay to bolster his squad for the upcoming campaign.

On that note, let us take a look at 3 signings that can make the French giants indomitable.


#3 N'Golo Kanté

70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by N'Golo Kante

Kante is one of the most diligent midfielders in the world at present. The Frenchman rose to fame in the 2015-16 season in which he inspired Leicester City to their maiden Premier League title.

He was one of the key players in the club's unanticipated triumph and consequently, caught the eye of many high-profile European clubs.

The 27-year-old moved to Chelsea the very next season for a reported fee of £32 million and helped them win the 2016-17 Premier League trophy in his debut season.

Kante is a dynamic player who habitually works as a central box-to-box midfielder due to his commendable work-rate, positional intellect and ability to break down possession.

The former Leicester star is expected to bid adieu to The Pensioners with the aim of playing in Champions League in the forthcoming season after an underwhelming campaign at Stamford Bridge and would be an excellent addition to PSG's midfield.

In the 2017-18 Premier League, Kante created 37 chances and one assist. He also completed 1878 passes with a pass accuracy of 89%, of which 71% were forward passed.

#2 Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski is a consistent figure in Bundesliga

Lewandowski has merchandised himself as one of the best strikers in the years gone by. The 29-year-old has been the linchpin of the Bayern Munich squad since his move from Borussia Dortmund in 2014, inspiring them to 4 consecutive Bundesliga titles.

The Polish international managed 41 goals in 48 appearances in the recent season, which itself speaks of his finishing ability.

Lewandowski's switch to Les Parisiens will add more firepower to the already star-studded attacking unit which comprises the likes of Neymar, Mbappe and Edinson Cavani.

The former Dortmund striker is a hot property in the ongoing transfer window, with renowned clubs such as Real Madrid and Chelsea craving The Pole's signature.

#1 Gianluigi Buffon

Buffon is one of the greatest Italian players to have ever played the beautiful game. His international career came to a heartbreaking end of late when the Italian national team failed to qualify for the World Cup after playing a draw against Sweden.

This season, the veteran also called a halt to his 17-year stint at Juventus as he announced his departure from the club.

PSG's chances of winning the Champions League in the coming season will gain a huge boost if they succeed in placing the 40-year-old between their sticks.

The ageing shot-stopper is still a force to be reckoned with. Although many legendary goalkeepers including the likes of Iker Casillas and Petr Čech fell down the pecking order in their late 30s, Buffon remained the first-choice keeper at Juventus - a sign of his enduring class.
