England captain Harry Kane considering move to NFL later in his career

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kane-harry/v5HSlEAa/"]Kane[/a] had previously ‌expressed his interest in pursuing careers in golf and American football. Now the 33-year-old ‌is giving more serious thought to a future in the NFL, ‌though he stressed any potential move to the United States is still ‌several years away.[/p][p]"[b]That is something I will try and look at ‌a bit more seriously[/b]," Kane told reporters at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/england/j9N9ZNFA/"]England[/a]'s training camp. "[b]It all depends on what happens in my career over the next five or six years. ‌The NFL is a lot more realistic than ⁠the golf one, let's put ‌it that way[/b]."[/p][p]The [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bayern-munich/nVp0wiqd/"]Bayern Munich[/a] striker said his penalty-taking experience could give him ​a head start as an NFL kicker, though switching sports would take serious preparation.[/p][p]"[b]I take penalties and it is a ​very similar pressure and technique[/b]," he said. "[b]In terms of training, I would be closer to that more than any other sport[/b].[/p][p]"[b]But, with ⁠all elite sports, when you ​watch it on TV, people make it look easy; you think it is possible, but that is not always the case[/b].[/p][p]"[b]If I was to do it, it is something I would take seriously. I would ‌take maybe six months to a year of trying to practice before[/b]."[/p][image alt="England take on Spain this weekend" id="59e95eab-892d-485b-b1a5-f5d7062cb130" credit-line="Action Images via Reuters / Jason Cairnduff" guid="d3660e94-27b6-445d-a606-7d7f38cd7a29" original-width="3526" original-height="2393" /][p]Kane also suggested a move to MLS could provide a way to combine the two sports.[/p][p]"[b]Maybe if I am in the MLS in the future or somewhere like that it might be a thing where you could connect the two maybe with the seasons[/b]," he said.[/p][p]There are already examples of soccer players making the switch. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/dallas-cowboys/S8sFw8iL/"]Dallas Cowboys[/a] kicker [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/aubrey-brandon/OxponXDT/"]Brandon Aubrey[/a] was a first-round MLS draft pick by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/toronto-fc/zsdfgnmL/"]Toronto ‌FC[/a] in 2017 but never made an official appearance for the first ​team. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/detroit-lions/boZWV3E7/"]Jake Bates[/a] also played college soccer before becoming a ‌kicker for the Detroit Lions.[/p][p]Kane's immediate future, however, remains in soccer, with talks over a new contract at Bundesliga champions Bayern progressing and an announcement expected soon.[/p][p]"[b]We're in good talks[/b]," Kane said. "[b]There's still some things that we need to iron out. I'm ⁠happy there. I think it won't ⁠be too long before ‌there's some sort of announcement[/b]."[/p]
