Bayern Munich star Harry Kane has been enjoying his time in Germany following his move from Tottenham. Despite a busy schedule, the player seems to find time for himself. With a decorated soccer career, one would expect the player to stick to the sport. The striker displayed his interest in the NFL last summer as fans saw him punting a ball at the Spurs Stadium. It seems like the striker has developed a fondness for the sport and would not mind switching careers down the line.

Kane, while talking to Kicker, stated, “In ten years, I will be 40. Who knows, I want to play football as long as my body and mind allow me. I really enjoy it and I don’t want it to stop, maybe that I will still be able to play at 40. I like the United States, as I spend a lot of time there.”

He added, “I have also thought about the NFL and maybe I want to try my luck. We’ll see. But I don’t think I want to work as a coach, even if many players say they change their minds at the end of their career.”

It will be fascinating to see if the English star tries his hand at the NFL after hanging up his soccer boots. However, his decision would come as a massive surprise, with fans expecting to see the Bayern star play for years to come.
