Harry Kane reveals he may think about retirement and career as NFL kicker in just FIVE years’ time

HARRY KANE admits he could retire from football in five years’ time to become an NFL kicker.

The England captain made the shock revelation just a month after joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham in a £104million transfer.

Kane has got off to a flyer in Bavaria, netting eight goals in just six Bundesliga games.

His latest effort came from the penalty spot as Bayern battled back for a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig on Saturday

But Kane, 30, is already thinking about life after he hangs up his boots.

The World Cup Golden Boot winner is a huge fan of American football.

Former Spurs star Clive Allen enjoyed a late spell in the sport and has since urged Kane to follow in his footsteps.

The Three Lions skipper previously revealed he would be interested in making the switch to NFL as a kicker.

And Kane has now set a timeline for a move to happen, reckoning he’s got at least five more years in football before making a potential switch.

Kane told ESPN: “Yeah the NFL thing, a lot of people have talked to me about that.

“I’ve said it’s something that I’d like to explore at a later date.

“But I think it all depends on where I’m at in my career, whether I’m happy to continue playing football. There’s a lot of questions marks.

“So it’s something that’s in the back of my mind but still a long, long way away so again it’s not something I’m thinking about right now.

“I guess time will tell and in life sometimes things just play out how they’re supposed to play out.

“We’ll see in five, six, seven years where I’m at and where I want to be and what I want to do and I’ll make that decision then.”
