Ranking the top 5 Ligue 1 goal-scorers in the last decade

#3 Kylian Mbappé - 107 (Monaco/PSG)

Mbappé is the Golden Boot winner for the last three seasons.

Tipped to be the next 'big thing' in the footballing world, Kylian Mbappe has already started making headlines at the young age of 22.

Pundits laud Mbappé as a player with immense talent and explosive pace that leaves the defenders in a cloud of dust. With the Real Madrid transfer rumors looming over his head for the past couple of seasons, Mbappé continues to exhibit his prowess.

The Frenchman's breakthrough year came in 2017 as his heroics helped Monaco win the Ligue 1 trophy in surprising fashion.

The Paris-born striker took just a year to get acquainted with his new club. After that, Mbappé went on to grab a hat-trick of Golden Boots in the Ligue 1.

#2 Zlatan Ibrahimović- 113 (PSG)

Words do little to describe the Swedish international's stellar career. Having played for nine teams across eight leagues, Zlatan still continues to impress at the age of 39.

Ibrahimović was a key part of Ancelotti's PSG

Ibrahimović arrived in Ligue 1 in 2012 after signing for the league heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain.

Growing steadily at PSG, Zlatan Ibrahimović broke Pauleta's record to become PSG's all-time top goalscorer in all competitions. The former Sweden captain ended his stint at the French capital after scoring 38 goals in 31 games.

Ibrahimović narrowly missed out on winning the European Golden Boot the same year.

#1 Edinson Cavani - 138 (PSG)

Cavanni is PSG's all-time top goal-scorer

Another of Paris Saint-Germain's star-signings — Edinson Cavani, has been the most prolific goal scorer in the Ligue 1 in the last decade.

The Uruguayan established himself as a mammoth figure in the Serie A with Napoli. This paved the way for the current Manchester United man to arrive in France, where he was unstoppable for the next seven seasons.

Cavani went on to smash numerous club records. He is currently the Parisians' all-time top goal-scorer across all competitions. He won back-to-back Golden Boot awards in 2017 (also winning the Ligue 1 Player of the Year) and 2018 while scoring 35 and 28 goals respectively. El Matador has also won back-to-back domestic quadruples with PSG.
