Do an analysis and determine what approach is best.  You'll consider application requirements, team skill set, and costs associated with hardware and/or hosting services. 

Keep in mind that WCF is a SOAP service.  ASP.NET Core communicates with SOAP services.  If you have an existing investment in SOAP then that you can keep the WCF service running on 4.5.

Rest via Webapi is the default for asp.net core. 

gRPC is popular for server to server and implementing micro services, but it requires a http 2, and modern servers and network. This probably the closest in spirit to Wcf.

Also popular is graphQL. This allows the caller to control the payload.

you would to tell more of the requirements, and use cases to make a recommendation.
