“Malaysia has waited years for someone to replace the late and much lamented Mokhtar Dahari, who put Arsenal to the sword back in 1975, and this striker has been tipped as one who just may be able to fill those sizeable shoes,” The Guardian described the footballer.
“Joint top scorer at the 2018 Asian Under-16 championships, this fleet-footed graduate of Malaysia’s national football development programme has caught the attention of Japanese clubs,” the publication added. “In September, however, he signed for the Vincent Tan-owned Belgian club K.V. Kortrijk. He will remain in Malaysian for the time being before training with another Tan club, Cardiff City.”
We think this honour is very much deserved!
Congratulations Luqman! We can’t wait to see what more you’ll accomplish!
