He explained that the move was to show his admiration for England’s all-time top scorer and also to dismiss claims that he had any hatred for the striker.

“Harry Kane is not my enemy. I have a baby boy. I’m going to name him Harry Kane because I have loved Harry Kane for a long time,” he said.

When quizzed by the interviewer on whether he had lifted the so-called curse he allegedly placed on Bayern Munich, Kwaku Bonsam responded in the affirmative, stressing that Harry Kane would perform very well in the remaining matches.

Earlier controversy around Kwaku Bonsam's comments

Kwaku Bonsam’s comments on Harry Kane first attracted attention after he reportedly claimed to have placed a curse on the striker ahead of the Ghana vs England match.

Kane’s performance in that match was widely discussed, as he managed just 19 touches throughout the game, the lowest total of his England career in a major tournament match where he played the full 90 minutes.
