‘In the back of my mind’ – Harry Kane still keen on NFL crossover but Bayern Munich & England striker admits move to American football is ‘a long way away’

Harry Kane admits that an NFL crossover remains “in the back of my mind”, but says a move into American football remains “a long way away”. The prolific Bayern Munich and England striker has never hidden the fact that he would like to test himself as a placekicker. There is, however, plenty left for him to achieve in his sport of choice before considering any switch into another.

  • Which NFL team does Kane support?

    Three Lions captain Kane is a big NFL fan, with his colours being nailed to the New England Patriots’ mast during Tom Brady’s record-shattering spell as quarterback in Massachusetts. He has attended regular season games in Europe and Super Bowl LIII.

  • From penalty-taking to placekicking

    Kane’s ability to strike a clean ball – which is highlighted in his remarkable penalty-scoring record – suggests that he would have little trouble adjusting to the demands of kicking for points in the United States.

  • Relocation to the United States required

    He would, however, need to commit fully to learning a new role and relocating his family again. For now, at 32 years of age, Kane is happy for any potential NFL career to remain a distant dream – with there no plans on his part to go chasing that any time soon.
