Five great goals fo the season. BeSoccer

The French Professional Footballers Union (UNFP) have selected five nominees for Goal of the Year, with no sign of the usual PSG suspects. The contenders are; Fekir, Lo Celso, Jeannot, Malcom and Kurzawa.

As Ligue 1 will be wrapped up by the end of this week, the Footballers Union has compiled a shortlist of contenders for the best goal this season in the French top-flight.

It is perhaps a little suprising not to see Neymar Jr, Edinson Cavani or Kylian Mbappe feature, possibly the most prolific strikers in the league, but there are contributions from two other PSG players: Lo Celso and Kurzawa.

Giovani Lo Celso's goal was a magnificent chip in front of the area, whilst Layvin Kurzawa executed a sublime scissor-kick from a corner taken by Neymar.

Rounding out the list is an impressive long-range shot from Benjamin Jeannot [Dijon], a left-footed goal from the coveted Malcom [Bordeaux] and a wonderful strike from the centre of the field by Nabil Fekir [Olympique Lyonnais].
