The 25-year-old top striker has totally impressed in the trial training session over the past few days and is now part of the team.
Dwamena signs a contract until 2023, with an option for an additional year. The summary of the lightning fast and 1.87 m tall striker from Ghana is outstanding with clubs such as Red Bull Salzburg, FC Lustenau, FC Zurich, Levante, and Saragossa.
The medical check this morning also went very well and, of course, his medical history was also carefully examined.
Statements
Raphael Dwamena: “I am so happy that Blau-Weib Linz gives me the chance and I will be eternally grateful. I would like to repay that with performance on the pitch. My athletic path is far from over. I feel very fit and want to achieve great things with blue and white in the next 2-3 years "
Sports director Tino Wawra: “I have a good connection to his advisor, to ex-Dortmund professional and Swiss team player Philipp Degen. That is why this commitment was possible. Here Raphael also saw that something is developing, and he now wants to follow this path with us in the long term. I am very proud that we were able to convince such a top striker to come to Linz. "
Trainer Gerald Scheiblehner: "In the first training sessions you saw what dynamism and what qualities Raphael has. But you have to take the pressure off him a little at the beginning. Now it is time to raise him to a decent fitness level, then we will have a lot of fun with him. "
