Unbelievable plan! Kane wants to become an NFL kicker while playing in MLS
Harry Kane has once again opened the door to one of the most extraordinary career twists in sports history, admitting he dreams of becoming an NFL kicker.
Details: Speaking to The Athletic, the Bayern Munich and England striker raised the possibility of finishing his football career in MLS while simultaneously working as a specialist kicker in the NFL. Kane suggested he could play both sports at the same time, combining his kicking duties in American football with his professional football career. The 33 year old is a well known NFL fan and has spoken about this ambition repeatedly over the years.
The idea is not as far fetched as it sounds. Kane is renowned for his ice cold composure from the penalty spot, and his technique has drawn praise from NFL circles before. Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, himself a former professional soccer player, has publicly backed Kane's NFL dream, saying the Englishman has all the tools to succeed. American football teams have increasingly turned to former soccer players for kicking duties, and Kane would be the most famous crossover star of them all. For now, though, the striker remains fully focused on Bayern, where he is close to signing a new contract after a historic start to the season that saw him reach 100 Bundesliga goals in record time.
It's worth noting that a move to MLS has long been rumored as the final chapter of Kane's career, and combining it with an NFL adventure would make him a true pioneer. Whether any NFL franchise would actually hand a jersey to a football superstar in his late thirties remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: when Kane talks about this dream, he is not joking. The story of Harry Kane may yet get a chapter nobody dared to imagine.
