Flamboyant Ghana attacker Joseph Paintsil has been voted among the best players in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League following his bravado for KRC Genk in the 2022/23 campaign.
Paintsil, 25, hit the back of the net 17 times in the league and set up 12 goals as Genk secured qualification to the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League.
His scintillating form fueled Genk’s campaign as they pushed the title case to the final game of the season as Royal Antwerp clinched the title in the last game of the play-offs campaign.
Paintsil together with Ivorian forward Simon Adingra are the only Africans in the team of the season.
He has been included in the Ghana squad for the 2024 AFCON qualifier against Madagascar later this month.
