Scouting Report & Player Insights
Kenneth Paal is a Dutch-born Suriname international left-back now with Antalyaspor in the Turkish Süper Lig, having built his career at PEC Zwolle and then as a dependable starter for QPR in the Championship. He is a steady, low-maintenance full-back: secure in possession, disciplined defensively, and willing to overlap without being a genuinely attacking wing-back. His left-footed delivery and consistency make him a solid mid-tier league starter rather than a difference-maker.
Came through the PSV Eindhoven academy before establishing himself at PEC Zwolle.
Was a near ever-present at left-back for QPR in the Championship after joining on a free transfer.
Chose to represent Suriname internationally despite being born and raised in the Netherlands.
