Harry Kane is thinking about playing in the NFL after his football career ends. The Bayern Munich striker said he might try to become a placekicker in American football. He thinks a future move to MLS could help him do both sports. Kane is 33 years old and still focused on football for now.
Kane spoke to reporters at St George’s Park. He said the plan depends on what happens in his career over the next five or six years. He said if he plays in MLS, the seasons might allow him to connect the two sports. He wants to look at it more seriously. He also said the NFL is more realistic than golf.
Kane believes his penalty-taking skills could help him as a placekicker. Both jobs need focus and accuracy under pressure. He said he would take it seriously if he decided to do it. He would need maybe six months to a year of practice before trying.
There are examples of footballers who switched to American football. Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey used to play soccer. Former Tottenham striker Clive Allen also played for an NFL Europe team called London Monarchs. So it is possible, though there are no guarantees.
For now, Kane is not rushing into anything. He is playing well at Bayern Munich and wants to make the most of his football career. The idea of Kane kicking field goals in the NFL is interesting, but it will not happen soon.
Harry Kane Reveals Argentina World Cup Loss Hurt More Than His Penalty Miss Against France
Harry Kane says England’s World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina was the most painful moment of his England career. It hurt more than missing a penalty against France in Qatar.

Kane could not watch the World Cup final. He played golf in New York instead. He did not want to think about missing the final. England had been so close. Kane has been through finals and semi-finals with England. Each loss hurts in a different way. This one hurt the most.
England are now back together. They start their Nations League campaign on Saturday. They face Spain at Wembley. Spain beat England in the last Euro final. Kane says the pain stays with you. It must be used as fuel. England need to find a way to be better in big moments. They have not been able to do that in the later stages of tournaments. Kane thinks it may be about personalities, mentality, or how they play in those games. He says the team needs to have conversations.
Kane also spoke about the Nations League. Some people think it is not important. But he says winning a trophy with England could help the team before Euro 2028. England have not won a major trophy in a long time. A win could give them confidence.
Several players have withdrawn from the squad. Kane does not want to make a big deal about it. He says everyone has their own situation. The Premier League schedule is tough. Some players do not get a winter break. Kane says he trusts all the players.
