Club Career

Kortrijk

On 20 September 2019, it was confirmed that Luqman had signed a five-year deal with Belgian First Division side Kortrijk, a club owned by Malaysian businessman Vincent Tan.

The youngster, who helped Malaysia reach the 2019 AFF U-18 Youth Championship final, was due to ink a five-year deal with his new team when he turned 18 in March 2020. However, his move fell through due to the COVID-19 pandemic and he ended up joining Malaysian club FA Selangor instead. Luqman stressed that he remained keen on a move to Europe, though, when the time was right.

He eventually got his move to Kortrijk in July 2020, with Selangor announcing the move through an official statement. Hakim was presented as a Kortrijk player on 13 August 2020 and trained with the U21 side for the first three weeks. On 24 October 2020, Luqman was selected for the first team against Anderlecht and he made his league debut after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute, with the match ending with a 1–3 loss for Kortrijk.
