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.
