WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international has made no secret of the fact he is willing to explore the possibility of becoming a placekicker in American football. He is so fascinated with the NFL that he has even named one of his dogs after Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion and former New England Patriots star, highlighting his deep-rooted admiration for the sport and its icons.

WHAT KANE SAID
Despite his flourishing football career at Bayern Munich, Kane has once again discussed his aspirations to venture into the NFL arena, particularly as a placekicker in an interview with SportsIllustrated.
"That's at least something that I have in the back of my mind," he said.
"I have the feeling that I still have many, many years ahead of me as a footballer - but so much can happen Things change so quickly. As I get closer to the end of my football career, I might take a closer look and start practising a bit. Making it to the highest level in two different sports - soccer and football - would be a good idea something very special."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Kane's friendship with Brady has helped him gain invaluable insights into the world of American football. The striker revealed that Brady, now a partner in the English second-division club Birmingham City, has been a mentor to him, further fuelling his NFL aspirations.
"He's just a really good guy, down-to-earth and always there for you when you need help or an opinion," he said. "He's now a partner in the English second division club Birmingham City and has given me a few football tips in the process. Questions asked. It's a shame he doesn't play anymore, I enjoyed watching him, but I'm glad I can call him a friend now."

WHAT NEXT?
If Kane decides to pursue a career in the NFL, he would follow in the footsteps of former Tottenham icon Clive Allen, who briefly played as a placekicker for the London Monarchs in NFL Europe. While some may view Kane's NFL ambitions sceptically, his determination and dedication to mastering new challenges make him a formidable contender for success, both on and off the pitch.
