Cavani and Mbappe win big at Ligue 1 awards

Leonardo Jardim joined his young Monaco team-mate and the PSG striker as the big winners at the latest awards ceremony for France's top flight

Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani has been named Ligue 1 Player of the Year for the first time, while Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe is the best young player for 2016-17.

Cavani has scored 35 league goals in as many appearances in a stunning individual season, even though PSG are set to see their streak of four straight titles come to an end.

Jardim: Monaco are not there yet

Their former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic had won the award in three of the past four seasons, with Eden Hazard, Alexandre Lacazette, Karim Benzema and Didier Drogba also among the previous winners.
