Ghanaian priest Nana Kwaku Bonsam targets Harry Kane ahead of England World Cup match

Bonsam, known for similar past claims, said his actions would be "just enough to stop him against my country" but not cause serious injury. This claim, shared by TouchlineX, has generated widespread online reactions. Bonsam previously asserted involvement in Cristiano Ronaldo's 2014 World Cup knee injury when Portugal played Ghana.

The England-Ghana fixture is a 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage match. Ghana began its campaign with a 1-0 win over Panama, while England also started strong, with Harry Kane scoring. Social media users have reacted to Bonsam's comments, with some questioning his strategy, others dismissing it as attention-seeking, and some referencing his past claims, noting Ronaldo scored against Ghana despite the priest's alleged intervention.

The development has sparked mixed reactions across African football communities on X, with some viewing it as mind games or entertainment, and others emphasizing focus on on-pitch performance. England and Ghana are scheduled to play their second Group L match on Tuesday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
