Soccer Icon Harry Kane wants to play in the NFL as a kicker
Harry Kane is making plans for a move to the United States after his Premier League career ends, but he does not want to play in the MLS, but rather the NFL.
The Tottenham striker has long been a fan of NFL, and recently in an interview with ESPN published on Wednesday, he says he would like to become a kicker.
“[The desire to play in the NFL] is real,” said the 25-year-old. “Something that in 10 or 12 years I definitely want to try.”
Kickers do not make much money, but Kane is not worried about money.
“It goes back to that drive to be the best,” he said. “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?”
What do you think? Could Harry Kane make the transition?
