Departure from QPR
Former PEC Zwolle and PSV Eindhoven full-back Kenneth Paal has officially departed from Queens Park Rangers after a three-year tenure in the English Championship. During his time with QPR, Paal accumulated 130 appearances across various competitions, establishing himself as a vital member of the squad.
Potential Interest from Eredivisie
This sudden exit could trigger interest among clubs within the Eredivisie, as the 27-year-old Surinamese international has an extensive background in Dutch football, having played over 100 matches in the top tier before his move to England. While Paal is primarily known for his defensive capabilities at left-back, he also possesses a wealth of experience in central midfield positions.
Reflections on His Time at QPR
Upon announcing his departure, Paal expressed gratitude to QPR fans, reflecting on his time with the club:
“I enjoyed every moment from day one. The support from the people at the club and my teammates has meant everything to me and my family. I will always remember my time here fondly. This experience was life-changing; I even became a father in London, which adds a personal significance to my journey here.”
Future Prospects
As Paal ventures into the next chapter of his career, his experience and skillset will certainly be of interest to potential suitors back home in the Netherlands, where he first made his mark as a professional footballer.
