Liverpool target crowned Ligue 1's top man

Lille's Eden Hazard has been rewarded for his excellent performances this term with the Ligue 1 Player of the Season award.

The Belgium international, who has been linked with a move to Lille, was previously voted best youngster in 2009 and 2010, and played a big role in his side's successful campaign, as he helped the club to their first Ligue 1 title since 1954, and a Coupe de France triumph.

The 20-year-old scored seven goals this term and set up nine more, and aside from Hazard, Moussa Sow, Gervinho and Adil Rami were all included in the Team of the Season, while boss Rudi Garcia was named as best coach.

Meanwhile, Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda was voted Goalkeeper of the Season following his superb performances for last year's champions.

Furthermore, Paris-Saint Germain defender Mamadou Sakho received the award for best young player.
