And the Ghanaian international is already looking forward to replicating that kind of form in the English topflight, saying he wants to reach the level of compatriot, and former Leeds United striker, Anthony Yeboah.

“Tony was a great player for Ghana and as a young player; you will definitely have someone to look up to,” Dwamena said, as quoted by Ghanasoccernet.com.

"Tony was a great player for Ghana and as a young player; you will definitely have someone to look up to.

"I cannot be like him because I have not reached his level yet. I can only hope to get anywhere closer to what he did."
