<\/p>\nJerry Lawton at the World Cup writes: The Ghanian witch doctor who put a curse on Harry Kane reckons England’s super striker will leave Panama spellbound – after boasting hoodoo has made him rich.<\/p>\n
Nana Kwaku Bonsam wrapped a rope around a chameleon in a hex to \u2018tie up\u2019 the Three Lions skipper ahead of the World Cup game against Ghana. It was a no-score bore in which Kane skied a sitter over the bar – a chance boss Thomas Tuchel admitted his Captain Fantastic would normally net \u201899 times of 100\u2019.<\/p>\n
Bonsam said he has now lifted the Kane curse – posting a video online showing him cutting the ropes he claims were restricting England\u2019s super striker. He reckons Kane – who he described as his \u2018brother\u2019 – will dazzle in tonight\u2019s (sat) crunch final group game against Panama.<\/p>\n
England need a win to top the group. Bonsam said his work to help Ghana\u2019s team – also set to qualify for the knockout stages – was now done. He said as a result of his hex he was now the \u2018most powerful spiritualist in the whole wide world\u2019 and folk across the globe were throwing cash at him for their own bit of life-changing magic.<\/p>\n
Bonsam boasted he had a rich lifestyle and could afford fancy clothes. “The shirt I am wearing cost $3,500 (\u00a32,648) and the watch is a Royal Oak brand,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I can take off my shirt for you to check the brand I\u2019m wearing. I won\u2019t lie for anything and now there\u2019s AI now so you check. People think we spiritualists don\u2019t have money.<\/p>\n
“We are also capable of buying expensive things. There\u2019s a lot of people around the world. They\u2019re calling me – want to send me money.<\/p>\n
“Harry Kane is not my enemy. I love Harry Kane. He\u2019s going to perform very, very well this match. I have a baby boy. I’m going to name him Harry Kane because I love Harry Kane for a long time.<\/p>\n
“I know for sure Harry Kane is going to play, and play very, very well. He’s going to perform very, very good. You just mark my words. Harry Kane, you are my brother. I love you.”<\/p>\n
Bonsam – whose name translates as ‘Devil Of Wednesday’ – said Africans had inherited \u2018powers\u2019 from their ancestors. In 2014 he claimed to have tried to make Ronaldo miss that year’s World Cup at which Portugal were in the same group as Ghana.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo was injured before the tournament but still played and scored the winning goal in the game though both countries were eliminated in the group stage.<\/p>\n
