As 2024 draws to a close, PSG can look back on a year filled with triumphs and challenges.
While there have been significant highs, such as key victories and standout performances, the team has also faced some inconsistencies on the pitch.
Now, all eyes are on the upcoming January transfer window, where PSG aims to offload players with limited playing time, including Milan Skriniar and Randal Kolo Muani.
Kolo Muani, in particular, has attracted interest from Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham. Speculation suggests his departure could pave the way for Newcastle United’s star striker Alexander Isak to join the Parisian side.
Amid these transfer rumors, PSG has shown strong performances on the field, closing the first half of the 2024-25 season on a positive note.
Here, we take a closer look at the top three performers under Luis Enrique, who have been instrumental in the team’s successes so far.
Top 3 PSG players of the 2024-25 season so far

3. William Pacho
At number three is Ecuadorian defender William Pacho, who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt during the summer of 2024.
Initially underestimated, Pacho has quickly silenced critics with outstanding displays, establishing himself as a cornerstone of PSG’s defense.
The 23-year-old has featured in 21 matches across all competitions, amassing over 1,800 minutes of playing time.
According to Transfermarkt, he has already registered one assist in Ligue 1 while showcasing his ability to launch precise long passes that create attacking opportunities. Pacho’s defensive solidity and versatility make him one of PSG’s most reliable players this season.

2. Vitinha
Portuguese midfielder Vitinha takes second place, continuing to prove why he’s among the best in Europe.
A key figure in PSG’s run to the UEFA Champions League semifinals last season, Vitinha was even shortlisted for the Ballon d’Or.
This season, the 24-year-old has played 20 matches, scoring three goals in over 1,500 minutes. His creative vision and ability to control the tempo of the game have been vital for Luis Enrique’s side.
Vitinha remains PSG’s most influential midfielder and a key player in their offensive build-up, as shown by Transfermark.

1. Achraf Hakimi
At the top of the list is none other than Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, PSG’s most indispensable player this season. The versatile full-back has been phenomenal, excelling both offensively and defensively.
With 21 appearances and over 1,800 minutes played as shown by Transfermark, Hakimi has scored three goals and provided seven assists, demonstrating his ability to influence matches in the final third.
His attacking contributions are matched by his defensive resilience, making him a player PSG cannot do without.
As the face of this team, Hakimi continues to prove why he is one of the best in the world in his position.
PSG’s success in 2024 has been shaped by the remarkable contributions of these three players, setting the stage for an even brighter 2025.
