Club career

Dinamo Tbilisi

Papunashvili started his career in his hometown club Dinamo Tbilisi. In 2013, after having spent a single season with the reserve side of the Georgian club, Papunashvili was promoted to the first team and in November he made his debut in Erovnuli Liga against Tskhinvali.[1]

During the 2014–15 season, Papunashvili became the key figure at Dinamo, scoring 16 goals in all tournaments with the club, including his first career hat-trick against Tskhinvali in October 2014.[2] Dinamo won Georgian Cup at the end of the season as well, with Papunashvili scoring two goals in the final against Samtredia.[3]

In summer 2015, Papunashvili signed a season-long loan deal with Werder Bremen.[4] He joined the reserve side of the club and played in 3. Liga.[5] The loan spell was unsuccessful, as Papunashvili missed 12 games due to injury and was only able to make 20 appearances for the club, scoring 2 goals.[6]

Real Zaragoza

In June 2017, Papunashvili signed four-year deal with Real Zaragoza.[7][8][9] Papunashvili made his debut for the Spanish club against Granada CF in 28 August, 2017, replacing Oliver Buff.[10]

International career

Papunashvili made his debut for the national team in a 1–0 friendly loss against the United Arab Emirates on 3 June 2014.[11][12]

He also represented Georgia national under-17 football team in the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovenia.[13]
