It seems that Malaysian teenage sensation Luqman Hakim Shamsudin is headed to Belgian side KV Kortrijk after all, following the announcement of his current club Selangor on Friday evening.
After protracted negotiations, the Malaysia U-19 striker will be allowed to leave for Belgium soon. While the terms were discussed between the two clubs, several other rumours also surfaced with varying levels of veracity, including one that linked him with English Premier League club Newcastle United.
The confirmation of Luqman's pending departure to Kortrijk has not only pacified Malaysian fans who are eager to see a Malaysian young talent expand his horizons, but also those who do not want to see the 18-year old make bad career choices.
