Ghanaian winger Joseph Paintsil has expressed his ambition to make history with Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy.
The 26-year-old recently joined the team on a long-term deal from Belgian club KRC Genk in a transfer worth €8 million.
Since his arrival, Paintsil has made seven appearances for LA Galaxy, scoring two goals.
In an interview, the talented attacker revealed his desire to emulate the achievements of former LA Galaxy players David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic by leaving a lasting legacy at the club.
“I’m not just coming just to enjoy the life of LA or California,” Paintsil told The Athletic.
“No, I came to also make a mark and also write my name in the book of the legacy, to have a trophy, to win a league. That’s the most important thing, to leave something so that when I also leave, like David Beckham, Ibrahimovic and the rest left behind, I can also be remembered like that,” he added.
Joseph Paintsil is set to return to action when LA Galaxy travels to play Vancouver at BC Place on Sunday.
