His career in football has only just kicked off but Tottenham striker Harry Kane appears to already be considering his options when he hangs up his boots.

The 22-year-old is expected to be named in Roy Hodgson's England squad, announced on Sunday, for next month's European Championship qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland.

But Kane, who is preparing to face Everton on Saturday, has revealed a career in American football as a kicker is appealing.

Kane enjoyed a sensational breakthrough campaign at White Hart Lane last season, scoring 21 league goals

'It depends on how my football career goes but, when I am finished, I would love to go to the NFL and be a kicker,' he told The Sun.

'Even if I got to play just one game it is something I would like to do.'

Kane enjoyed a sensational breakthrough campaign at White Hart Lane last season, notching 21 Premier League goals and was also named PFA Young Player of the Year.

But it seems the star forward has his eyes set on a career NFL, though Kane admits he'll need to get his practice boots on before he steps foot on the gridiron.

'It’s a long way off yet. But it is definitely something I have thought about. We’ve had NFL teams come to Spurs and I can kick the ball as high and as far as them, but not on a consistent basis,' he added.

'So I would need a bit of practice first.'

Kane wouldn't be the first footballer to try his luck at American football - former Tottenham forward Clive Allen is remembered for his stint at London Monarchs.

Allen joined the team in 1997 following a successful career in football and kicked three field goals as the Monarchs claimed a World League 16-8 win over Scottish Claymores at Stamford Bridge.
