Worth a punt: Kane tried his hand at a new sport

We all know Harry Kane is pretty handy with a football, but what about an American football?

The 22-year-old Tottenham striker tried out one of the favourite past times from across the Atlantic as part of the launch of the new EA SPORTS Madden NFL 16 game and took to it like a duck to water.

The England forward donned traditional American football kit (or should that be uniform?) to take part in a number of activities alongside the New York Jets' Nick Mangold and the Kansas City Chiefs' Cairo Santos.

Kane didn't need a lot of coaching when it came to field goals. He managed to punt the ball over the posts with ease, which wasn't too surprising given how clinical he was in front of goal for Spurs last season.

The striker is yet to get off the mark for Mauricio Pochettino's side during the current campaign, but he proved that he hasn't lost any of his reflexes when he completed several one-handed catches.

Now you're just showing off, Harry. Ten hut!

With Spurs set to explore the possibility of hosting NFL games in their new stadium in the future, Kane could attract some potential suitors given how impressive he was with the pigskin.

Harry Kane was speaking at the launch of EA SPORTS Madden NFL 16, out NOW on Xbox One and PS4. Check out Kane taking on NFL stars Nick Mangold and Cairo Santos in an American football masterclass in the video below. To find our more visit easports.com/madden-nfl #Madden16
