Ghana striker Raphael Dwamena is well on his way to rediscovering his very best form at his new club, Real Zaragoza.
Dwamena secured a season-long loan move to Zaragoza from Levante and is quickly becoming a fan favourite, only two matches into their preseason campaign.
In the Spanish Segunda División side’s first pre-season game against Peña Ferranca, Dwamena found the net five times in a 13-0 win for Zaragoza.
In the next preseason game against Boltaña, Dwamena had to settle for a place on the bench from the start but came on to astonishing effect, scoring four times and laying on two more for his teammates as his side won 19-0.

The player, on both occasions, took to Facebook to offer updates to his fans and also thank God.
It might not have been against top-quality opposition but Raphael Dwamena will hope his nine-goal haul in just two matches is a sign that he is ready to turn the corner after a disappointing year.
The Black Stars striker earned rave reviews at FC Zurich, scoring 13 times and assisting 12 more in his final season for the Swiss club.
This fine form seemed to have earned him a move to Premier League club Brighton who wee willing to shelve out £10 million for the striker but the deal fell through after he failed a medical.
He moved instead to Levante where he struggled to find his best form, being relegated to 16 appearances in all competitions, scoring just one goal.
Dwamena has also made eight appearances for the Black Stars, scoring two goals but did not make it into the squad for the 2019 African Cup of Nations.
He will hope that an impressive season with his new side will put him back in contention for a spot in the national side.
