Zidane and Benzema voted for Mbappé as best French player

Few people argue with the fact that Mbappé is one of the best players in the world. With Neymar his partner in crime at PSG, he hasn't stopped scoring and is showing his attacking quality. He is one of the best French players.

As such, he was one of the favourites to win the award given out by the prestigious newspaper 'France Football'. Many of the people in charge of voting are ex winners of the award and the aforementioned source wanted to publish the votes for everyone to see.

Benzema voted for, in this order, Mbappé, Varane, Ndombele, Sissoko and Lenglet; Zidane voted for Benzema, Mbappé, Varane, Kanté and Ben Yedder. This means he is sandwiched between the 2 Real Madrid players, and he is on the Real Madrid board's agenda.

That is the curious thing about the results. The votes reveal that Zidane thinks that Mbappé is one of the best in France; a view he shares with Benzema. However, Zidane put his player ahead of Mbappé.

Mbappé returned the gesture to his compatriot. He voted for the following in this order: Benzema, Lloris, Griezmann, Ndombele and Ikoné. It seems that the 3 like each other and there's a chance that they'll end up at the same team next season.

However, PSG don't want to let their biggest talent go. That is why they have started an operation to ward off Real Madrid and so they can't sign him so easily. Up ahead, the winter and summer transfer markets.
