Harry Kane has revealed that he would like to take up a career in the NFL when he time in top flight football comes to an end.
The 32-year-old England captain confirmed he has looked into pursuing a career as an NFL placekicker and it continues to occupy his thoughts, though he acknowledges such aspirations must wait considerably longer before becoming reality.
The striker's exceptional penalty-taking record demonstrates his capacity to strike a ball cleanly, a skill that could translate well to the demands of placekicking in the NFL.
When questioned about whether American football could feature in his future plans, Kane told his Cleats Club channel: "To be honest it's always something that's in the back of my mind but still a long way away yet, we'll see in the future if it will be possible."

However, any transition to American football would require complete dedication to mastering an entirely new sporting discipline, alongside another significant relocation for his family.
With his Bayern contract running until 2027, Kane appears content to keep these NFL ambitions as a future possibility rather than an immediate objective.

The prolific forward's current deal with the Bundesliga champions extends through to 2027, though speculation persists about whether he will fulfil the entire duration of that commitment.
Kane anticipates continuing at elite European level for multiple seasons ahead, with no consideration being given to a potential Major League Soccer switch that might facilitate settling in America before pursuing NFL opportunities.

For the moment, the striker appears satisfied to maintain his American football aspirations as a long-term possibility rather than actively pursuing them.
Such a career change would demand significant adjustments beyond simply transferring his ball-striking abilities to a different sport.
The physical requirements of placekicking differ substantially from those of a footballer, necessitating specialised training and adaptation to American football's unique demands.
