Harry Kane, the English football star, hinted at a potential career move into MLS or even the NFL after his current contract ends. During an interview, Kane joked about retiring to play professional golf but then mentioned he might seriously consider moving to another sport. He emphasized that the NFL is more realistic than golf due to similarities in pressure and technique between football penalties and American football. However, Kane stressed there have been no direct approaches from any NFL teams yet, suggesting he would need time to train and assess his capabilities if such an opportunity arises.
