Tottenham Hotspur attacker, Kudus Mohammed has disclosed that his teammate, Djed Spence, cautioned him after Ghana and England were drawn into the same group ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to Kudus, the English defender told him in the locker room that he would give him tight marking if they both feature in the tournament.
The former Ajax attacker, who was amused by the comment, further revealed that Spence warned he would “pocket” him in the game.
However, Kudus noted that time will determine whether the comment will come to pass, adding that he is eager to face England at the 2026 World Cup.

“With Djed Spence, he said he is going to pocket me, but I think time will tell. It is very nice to have a country like England in our group, and I am looking forward to that,” Kudus said ahead of the Champions League game against Slavia Praha.
Ghana will kick off their Group L matches on June 17, 2026, against Panama in Toronto before traveling to face England in Boston, United States, on June 23.
Ghana will play their final group game in Philadelphia on June 27 to conclude their group stage matches.
