\"Ghana<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

John Pantsil wants to stay with the Black Stars for a long time to come<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana defender John Pantsil turns 30 on Wednesday but says he has the blood of an U-20 running through him and could occupy the wingback position for the Black Stars for a very long time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facing a rather stiff opposition from younger colleagues \u2013 Samuel Inkoom and Daniel Opare\u2014 in the Black Stars, Paintsil told the Graphic Sports he was unmoved \u201cbecause I have fresh blood running through me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Painstil is reeling under intense psychological pressure to secure a club quickly after he was offloaded by his England premiership side, Fulhalm, at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Largely considered by his club as surplus, the Ghanaian had little playing time last season necessitating his immediate release.<\/p>\n

He told the Graphic Sports last Sunday he was seriously in search of a club either in the premiership or the Championship (Division One) just to be active and to maintain his position in the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

Refusing to disclose names of clubs he had been speaking with, the player said he was not bothered playing in the championship \u201conce I get a regular playing time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fulham deal remains the player\u2019s biggest with a combined transfer fee of 6.3 million pounds from West Ham in 2008. Paintsil, joined West Ham after a successful World Cup debut in Germany in 2006, but after initial impressive showing failed to live up to the billing.<\/p>\n

From a humble beginning at Berekum Arsenal, Liberty Porfessionals through to his sojourning in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and<\/p>\n

Hopoel Tel Aviv Paintsil appears to have hit his top form until his sudden decline at Fulham.<\/p>\n

On the fringes, Laryea Kingston said his motivation to get a foreign club urgently is to make a return to the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

With the Black Stars considered as one of the most attractive national teams on the continent, Laryea said he was moving heaven and earth to make a return to Europe to re-join the national team.<\/p>\n

He told the Graphic Sports his agent had made an advanced move and he was sure to begin playing high-profile soccer once again.<\/p>\n

Laryea, 30, younger brother of goalkeeper Richard \u2018Olele\u2019 Kingson, failed to make the mark with Netherland premier club, Vitesse, last December after years with Scotland side Hearts.<\/p>\n

Sounding rather optimistic, Learyea said \u201csurely by the end of next month I should secure a club in Europe.<\/p>\n
