Mbappe and Cavani among the nominees for UNFP awards

The contenders for the top individual prizes in French football have been named, including leading lights at Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain and Nice

Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe are among the nominees for the top individual prizes in French football.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani is one of four candidates for the Ligue 1 Player of the Year prize, along with team-mate Marco Verratti, Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette and Monaco playmaker Bernardo Silva.

The award was won last year by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who earned the accolade three times in four seasons during his PSG career.

Rising star Mbappe has been nominated for the Young Player of the Year award alongside team-mate Thomas Lemar, PSG's Adrien Rabiot and Nice's Wylan Cyprien.
