Harry Kane, England Captain, says he  wants to play as a kicker in the NFL.

Kane, a New England Patriot fan, watched them win a sixth Super Bowl in Atlanta in February.


The Englishman, 25, told ESPN, "The desire to play in the NFL is real. It's something that in 10 or 12 years I definitely want to try."

"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?"

Kane further said: "It goes back to that drive to be the best. Even if I download a game on my phone, can I be the best in the world?"

The Tottenham striker, who has won 37 England caps, won the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup and is Tottenham's top scorer this season with 20 goals.

Kane will be awarded an MBE for services to sport from the Duke of Cambridge at Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
