England midfielder Eberechi Eze has distanced himself from viral assertions that a Ghanaian witch doctor purportedly placed a curse on Three Lions’ captain Harry Kane during the 2026 World Cup.
Self-acclaimed spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam had, prior to the Group L match between England and Ghana, declared that he would cast a spell on the Bayern Munich striker to hinder his performance against the West African nation.
True to his claim, Kane endured a frustrating game during the goalless draw between the two sides at the Boston Stadium.

While Bonsam has since asserted that he has “released” Kane from the spell, football fans remain curious, given that he was the same witch doctor who previously claimed responsibility for a knee injury suffered by Cristiano Ronaldo during the 2014 World Cup.
Asked if the alleged curse had been a topic of discussion within the England squad, Eze chuckled and inquired whether the interviewer genuinely believed in such matters.
The 27-year-old Arsenal midfielder then tactfully distanced himself from the topic, stating he was “not too interested”, and indicating he had little desire to engage in that type of discussion.
