The England captain has established himself as one of the best strikers in world football, winning the Golden Boot at last year’s World Cup and twice topping the Premier League scoring charts. But Kane - a keen NFL fan - has spoken in the past of the possibility of moving into American football as a specialised kicker down the line.
