English soccer star Harry Kane wants to finish his career as an NFL kicker

Harry Kane’s fierce competitive drive has an unconventional question looming in the English striker’s head: “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?” he asked.

Kane, the Tottenham Hotspur star and English captain, is serious about a potential American football career as a kicker, he said in an interview with ESPN.

“That’s real,” he said. “Something that in 10 or 12 years I definitely want to try.”

Former Tottenham forward Clive Allen attempted a similar feat, kicking for NFL Europe in 1997.
