Leeds United make €10m offer for Ghanaian winger Joseph Paintsil

English side Leeds United have stepped up their interest in Ghana international Joseph Paintsil after making their first offer to KRC Genk.

The Championship outfit have tabled an offer of €10 million for the Ghanaian as they seek to secure his signature this summer.

Leeds' offer to Genk includes a sell-on clause should the Ghanaian be sold in subsequent years.

The Athletic reports that Genk are yet to respond to the bid from Leeds.

Paintsil has already been involved in a transfer saga this summer after turning down a move to Southampton in a swap deal which would have seen Paul Onuachu also make a return to Belgium less than a year after moving to England.

Paintsil is said to be interested in a move to Leeds with personal terms not expected to be a challenge should both clubs agree on a fee.

Paintsil has a goal and two assists to his name already this season across all competitions and missed Genk's Europa League playoff first-leg win over Adana DS on Thursday night.
