Kylian Mbappé was named France’s Player of the Year at the Union of French Players (UNFP) awards ceremony on Monday night in Paris, as he comes to the end of his seven-season stay with Paris Saint-Germain
The 25-year-old picked up the prize for the Best Player in Ligue 1 at the UNFP (French Players’ Union) Trophies gala for the fifth time in a row after a season in which he has scored 44 goals for PSG in all competitions.
The France captain last week confirmed he will leave PSG at the end of the campaign when his contract expires, with Real Madrid expected to be his next destination.
PSG’s domestic dominance was reflected in the other awards, with teenage midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery named Young Player of the Season and Gianluigi Donnarumma the best goalkeeper on the night.

For Mbappe, he played his final home game for PSG on Sunday and scored as the champions suffered a shock 3-1 defeat against Toulouse.
The season is not finished yet, with Mbappe’s PSG having two more Ligue 1 games to play this week before the French Cup final against Lyon on Saturday, May 25.
The award adds to the 25-year-old’s long list of accolades including the Top Scorer of the Year in the last four seasons.
