Amidst the new arrivals, an astonishing report has emerged regarding their foreign midfielder and playmaker Liridon Krasniqi.

According to reports by Media Prima publications that quoted a Balkan website, the 26-year old has attracted interest from Angers SCO, in France's Ligue 1. The club are reportedly willing to offer Kedah €500,000 (RM2.4 million) to release Krasniqi.

The midfielder recently won the Best Foreign Player and the Most Popular Player awards, at the 2017 National Football Awards.

Coincidentally, Angers are also the same club that signed former Pahang foreign striker Dickson Nwakaeme, in the 2016/17 season. The Nigerian has since left the side.
