Nana Kwaku Bonsam claims he can stop Harry Kane
Kane heads into the match in excellent form after scoring twice in the Three Lions' 4-2 victory over Croatia.The England skipper is also on the verge of a personal milestone, needing just one more goal to move past Gary Lineker as England's leading scorer in World Cup history.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Bonsam claimed he was already carrying out work intended to disrupt Kane's performance.
I am working on Harry Kane. I have shown what I am capable of before, so I know what work I must do to stop him. I am very famous for my predictions.Despite the dramatic claim, Bonsam insisted he was not attempting to inflict a serious injury on the Bayern Munich forward.
I am not wishing him serious injury. It will be just enough to stop him against my country. I will do my work so that it can help Ghana.
Witch doctor revives Ronaldo claims
Bonsam's latest comments echo statements he made during the 2014 World Cup when he claimed he had used spiritual powers to affect Ronaldo's fitness ahead of Portugal's clash with Ghana.I know what Cristiano Ronaldo's injury is about, I'm working on him. I am very serious about it.Bonsam has frequently promoted his spiritual abilities through Ghana's Kofi Oo Kofi shrine, where he offers services ranging from healing and protection to traditional rituals and guidance.
I said it four months ago that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo seriously and rule him out of the World Cup or at least prevent him from playing against Ghana and the best thing I can do is to keep him out though injury.
This injury can never be cured by any medic, they can never see what is causing the injury because it is spiritual. Today, it is his knee, tomorrow it is his thigh, next day it is something else.
Whilst there is no evidence supporting his claims, they have continued to attract attention whenever Ghana participates in major international tournaments.
England focused on football
Inside the England camp, however, the focus remains firmly on football.Head coach Thomas Tuchel will be looking to build on his side's opening victory and secure qualification for the knockout stages with a game to spare.
England currently sit top of Group L on goal difference and know that another win against Ghana would put them in a commanding position before their final group fixture against Panama.
For Kane, the match represents an opportunity to continue his impressive goalscoring record on the biggest stage and potentially break Lineker's long-standing World Cup scoring mark.
Whether Bonsam's latest prediction proves any more successful than his previous boasts remains to be seen, but England's captain is likely to place far greater faith in preparation, training and talent than in talk of curses and spiritual intervention.
