Owner and bankroller of Tema Youth, Wilfred Osei Kwaku Palmer, has taken a swipe at the Ghana Football Association [GFA], saying Joseph Paintsil’s exclusion from Black Stars final squad is due to the player's affiliation with him.
The in-form 24-year-old winger has been dropped from Black Stars' final 26-man squad for the Mundial scheduled to be hosted in Qatar.
In a video that has popped up on social media, the man who transferred Joseph Paintsil abroad, Palmer says the attacker is subjected to unfair treatment in the Black Stars because of his affiliation with him.
”Sometimes it hurts when I see how he’s being treated in the national team," he said.
“We watched the AFCON and he was one of the best players, yet he sat out the next two games.
”I have reached a conclusion that he’s being snubbed because of his affiliation with me," the former GFA Executive Committee member added.
