England captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has said he could see himself playing in Major League Soccer and trying his hand as an NFL kicker in the future.

Kane, 33, discussed the possibilities with reporters on Wednesday, while saying he was close to finalising a new contract with Bayern Munich.

The London-born striker is also a keen golfer, playing off a two handicap, but has acknowledged the difficulty of becoming a professional.

Kane is a fan of the NFL's New England Patriots and former quarterback Tom Brady. He said becoming a kicker was something he would like to explore, although not while he remains at the top of his football career.
