Louis Rees-Zammit has taken everyone by surprise. The star sent shockwaves around the community after calling quits on Rugby to pursue American football. However, it seems like Zammit is not the only player in love with the sport. English soccer star Harry Kane confessed his admiration for the NFL in an interview while discussing his retirement plans.

The media have been buzzing about Rees-Zammit’s decision to quit the sport just days before England’s Six Nations roster announcement. However, it seems like the twenty-two-year-old has made up his mind and is ready to sacrifice the opportunity to pursue his dreams.

Harry Kane leaning toward American Football following his soccer career

Bayern Munich star Harry Kane has been enjoying his time in Germany following his move from Tottenham. Despite a busy schedule, the player seems to find time for himself. With a decorated soccer career, one would expect the player to stick to the sport. The striker displayed his interest in the NFL last summer as fans saw him punting a ball at the Spurs Stadium. It seems like the striker has developed a fondness for the sport and would not mind switching careers down the line.

Kane, while talking to Kicker, stated, “In ten years, I will be 40. Who knows, I want to play football as long as my body and mind allow me. I really enjoy it and I don’t want it to stop, maybe that I will still be able to play at 40. I like the United States, as I spend a lot of time there.”
