Tottenham Hotspur and England forward Harry Kane has somewhat bizarrely revealed that he wants to play in the NFL before ending his sporting career.
Kane is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in world football, having scored 164 times in 249 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions.
The 25-year-old is also England captain and has struck 22 times in his 37 caps for the national team, including six at the 2018 World Cup to land the Golden Boot.
Kane – an avid follower of American Football – has said that he wants to try himself as a kicker in the NFL after he retires from football.
Kane told ESPN:
“[The desire to play in the NFL] is real. Something that in 10 or 12 years I definitely want to try. It goes back to that drive to be the best.
“Even if I download a game on my phone, can I be the best in the world? If you play in the Premier League and the World Cup and you then play in the NFL, would you then be considered one of the greatest sportsmen ever?”
For now, though, Kane will be fully focused on helping Tottenham secure a top-four position in the Premier League between now and the end of the campaign.

No longer title challengers, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have lost three of their last four in the league and now sit just three points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United.
Kane has scored 24 times in 36 appearances for Spurs during the 2018-19 season.
