#5. Edinson Cavani - PSG all-time top scorer with 171 goals

Cavani broke Ibrahimovic's record last season

It was mentioned that Edinson Cavani scored 104 goals for Napoli in 138 games and this made him the club’s 4th all-time leading goalscorer. If he stayed at Napoli a little longer, then he could have been the all-time leading goalscorer for both Napoli and PSG.

Cavani left Napoli in 2013 to join PSG and continued his incredible goalscoring record. In his first three seasons at PSG, he was often played out wide to accommodate Zlatan Ibrahimovic but despite this, he scored 81 goals in 148 games during this period.

The rate at which he found the back of the net improved massively once he was given his preferred role as a striker and since then, he has scored 89 times in 97 games!

In total, Cavani has scored 170 goals in 245 games for the Parisian club to become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer. He broke the record of 156 goals by Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the 2017/18 season.

Unless Kylian Mbappe stays at PSG for many more years, then Cavani’s record will last for a significant period of time.
