Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has been voted the best French player of the year by France Football magazine.

Nasri wasn’t involved in France’s World Cup fiasco. Then-coach Raymond Domenech left the midfielder out of the squad that crashed out in the first round in South Africa.

New France coach Laurent Blanc recently said Nasri—who finished ahead of Chelsea winger Florent Malouda and Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in the voting— is currently the best French player.

The 23-year-old Nasri has already scored 10 goals in the Premier League and Champions League this season for Arsenal.
