Ghana international, Joseph Painstil says he made the right decision to move to the Major League Soccer [MLS] despite interest from European clubs.
The 26-year-old made a move to LA Galaxy last year from Belgian Pro League side, Genk.
In his first season, Paintsil scored 15 goals and won the MLS Cup.
Despite receiving offers from a number of European clubs, Painstil believes the move to the USA was the best for his career.
“I think I made the right decision to move to the MLS. I won the championship in my first year so I don’t regret it at all,” he told Joy Sports.
“There were some clubs in Europe that were interested, but it’s not always about just playing in Europe but also making sure everything and everyone around you is well taken care of.
“Football is football, no matter where you find yourself. The likes of Neymar, Ronaldo, Messi and even Asamoah Gyan left Europe to continue playing football.
“I didn’t make the decision alone but with my mother and twin sister. I believe it was the right decision.,” he added.
Joseph Paintsil has kicked off pre-season with his side ahead of the upcoming campaign.
