Ghanaian spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam has stated that he has “released” England captain Harry Kane from a spell, after the striker failed to score in the team’s recent goalless draw.
Bonsam had previously claimed on social media that he intended to cast a spell to prevent Kane from finding the net during England’s World Cup match against Ghana. This followed a strong opening performance where Kane scored two goals in England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia.
Despite the spiritualist’s claims, Kane himself appeared unconcerned, stating that scoring chances do not always convert. “I’ve been a striker long enough to know they don’t always go in,” he remarked, reflecting on a missed opportunity in stoppage time that could have secured England’s progression to the knockout stages.
Bonsam’s intervention, however, adds an unusual layer to the narrative surrounding Kane’s recent performance. The spiritualist, in a video message, indicated his intention to visit Kane and “release” him, suggesting a friendly gesture despite the prior alleged spellcasting. England’s performance against Ghana marked a frustrating stalemate after their initial triumphant display against Croatia.
