PSG have faced several Premier League clubs on their way to the UEFA Champions League final this season. Could that pave the way for more English players to join the French giants?
Ligue 1 is already attracting English talent. Players like Angel Gomes found a home at LOSC Lille, and Charlie Cresswell spent this past season with Toulouse FC.
Despite the pressure to win trophies, PSG under Luis Enriquehave made room for young players to grow. If the right opportunitycomes up, one expert believes a big-name English signing could be on the cards this summer.

In his latest column for Ensemble PSG, Robin Bairner, the chief editor at Football Transfers, wrote that Manchester United midfielder Mainoo would be an interesting target for the capital club to bolster their midfield, which already has a plethora of talent.
“For a wildcard deal that Luis Enrique mightbe advised to make, look no further than Manchester United and Kobbie Mainoo,” Bairner wrote. “The young midfielder could be on his way out of Old Trafford due to the club’s financial position, while his profile doesn’t fit the prototype athletic figure required in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 system.
“Mainoo, 20, is a player whose abilities are more technical than physical.That could make him ideal for the PSG midfield, wherethere is a premium placed on this type of quality. He ticks one other major boxthat PSGhave sought in recent years; he is a young player with ample scope to improve.
“Yes, the outlay would be significant and, yes, it is an area where there is already strong competition at Parc des Princes, but for a shock deal, this is potentially one to watch.”
