In the previous season, Genk came agonizingly close to winning the Belgium league title, only to concede a goal in the final minute of their match against Royal Antwerp, who eventually became the champions.

Meanwhile, Paintsil’s future at the Cegeka Arena is uncertain as English clubs have shown interest in signing the 25-year-old.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Paintsil had an exceptional season, contributing 30 goals for the Belgian giants. During Monday’s training, he was joined by his compatriot, Christopher Bonsu Baah, a newly signed winger.
