The 20-year-old has completed a loan move from Lierse which will see him play for Danish Superliga leaders Brøndby IF for the 2016/17 season.

The player’s deal comes with an option to extend in case he impresses on his first season for the club.

Hafez, who will arrive in Brøndby on Sunday, was reportedly close to completing his move to Ligue 2 side RC Lens before joining 10-time Danish Superliga winners Brøndby IF.



Hafez, who joined Belgian side Lierse from Wadi Degla in 2014, was loaned to Omonia Nicosia from his parent club S.K. Lierse last season; he appeared 29 times for the Cypriot club.
