Interesting story here about Vincent Tan 'persuading' KV Kortrijk management to sign a promising Malaysian youngster on a 5 year contract - and play him. There have been similar Cardiff links to Malaysian youth players in the past, and a handful of trials - but never a contract!

Is this where Warnock comes out blaming him for Madine?
It would be great to see us make more of the relationship with Kortrijk - maybe loaning them some of our academy players and the like.
I love the word 'persuading'...just reminding them who's the boss.Quote:

When they said that they didn't he asked if they could get some for him.
They did and he didn't touch them. After the event I asked him why he did that and he replied that he was just reminding them who was paying the bill.
Sorry, but have you got that the right way round? :shrug:Quote:

Grainy youtube footage looks good as always.
Looks like he almost came here to train with us then sign for Kortrijk when he was 18.

Interesting that there is a sell on fee - I wonder if he lives upto the potential they'll sell him to us for £2.50

Luqman has represented Malaysia at all youth level from the under 16-side to the under-23 sides. He was part of the national team for the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship that took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[8] On 20 September 2018, he made an emphatic start to the AFC U-16 Championship with a 6-2 win over Tajikistan.[9] In that match, he was Malaysia’s four-goal hero. Luqman also assisted Najmuddin Akmal goal in the opening group-stage match. He played every minute of Malaysia's campaign at the tournament, which ended with them eliminated in last place in their group.[10]
He later moved up to the under 19s squad for 2019 AFF U-19 Youth Championship in the Vietnam. Luqman played a large role in the Malaysia under-19s progression to the semi-finals.[11] He scored 4 goals in 5 appearances during the matches. He has played in the final against Australia which Malaysia lost 1–0.[12]
On 2 November 2019, Luqman was named in the 20-man Malaysia Squad for the 2019 Sea Games.[13] However, the Sea Games squad weren't actually fit. They failed to pass the group stage, and Luqman wasn't able to prove his worth.
