Eze dismisses witch doctor's curse claim on Kane after England-Ghana draw
Eberechi Eze reacted to claims that Ghanaian self-proclaimed spiritualist Nana Kwaku Bonsam had placed a curse on England captain Harry Kane during their goalless World Cup draw in Foxborough on June 25, 2026. Eze chuckled when asked about the allegation, questioned whether the interviewer truly believed in such matters, and said he was "not too interested" in discussing it, distancing himself from the topic. Kane, who had equaled Gary Lineker’s all-time England World Cup scoring record of 10 goals and stood just one shy of the outright mark, failed to score against Ghana, fueling speculation about a possible hex. Bonsam had previously claimed responsibility for Cristiano Ronaldo’s knee injury in the 2014 World Cup and later said he had "released" Kane from the spell. The story went viral due to Kane’s exceptional form and the timing of the alleged curse. For Nigerian fans, the episode highlights how unverified superstition can overshadow on-field achievements, reminding readers to focus on verifiable performance rather than occult narratives.
