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.
