Former Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min and his longtime attacking partner Harry Kane could potentially reunite in Major League Soccer, as reported by outlets covering the German and American leagues on Feb. 13, 2026. Current Los Angeles FC forward Son and Bayern Munich striker Kane formed one of the most prolific partnerships in Premier League history before Kane’s departure to Germany in 2023.
Former United States men’s national team player Brek Shea suggested during an interview with Jackpot City Casino that Los Angeles FC would serve as an ideal destination for Harry Kane if the English striker moves to North America. Shea weighed potential landing spots, noting that while Florida might initially appeal due to Kane’s affinity for golf, Inter Miami carries a heavy South American culture where Spanish is predominantly spoken both on and off the pitch. Consequently, Shea pointed to Los Angeles FC as a more natural cultural fit for the 33-year-old forward.
From Premier League Records to Trans-Atlantic Speculation
During their collective tenure at Tottenham Hotspur, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane combined for 47 goals in the English Premier League, establishing the all-time competition record for goal combinations between two teammates and surpassing the previous mark of 36 goals set by Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard at Chelsea. Since Kane transferred to Bayern Munich in 2023 and Son moved to Los Angeles FC, the pair have played in separate competitions. Shea’s remarks regarding a potential MLS move have revived public interest in whether the duo might ever share a club pitch again.
The Long-Term NFL Ambition Discussed by Pundits
Alongside a potential stint in Major League Soccer, Shea raised the prospect of Kane eventually pursuing a career in the National Football League as a placekicker. Kane has previously expressed interest in attempting a transition to American football after concluding his professional soccer career, drawing upon his experience striking penalties. However, media reports analyzing the scenario noted practical hurdles, pointing out that by the time Kane might realistically pursue such a transition, he would be roughly 40 years old, and the NFL remains physically demanding even for kickers and punters.
Major League Soccer Commissioner Welcomes Global Stars
Major League Soccer leadership has openly expressed enthusiasm regarding the prospect of attracting players of Kane’s caliber to North America. MLS Commissioner Don Garber stated in an interview with the PA news agency that adding a player like Kane would represent the fulfillment of the league’s long-term ambitions to build a top-tier competition capable of turning the United States into a premier soccer nation. Garber pointed to Lionel Messi’s arrival as proof that world-class players can be successfully integrated into the league, setting a precedent for future marquee signings.
Current Standing and Future Prospects
At 33 years old, Harry Kane remains under contract with Bayern Munich, where he continues to perform as a high-level goalscorer in Europe, meaning an immediate transfer to Major League Soccer is not imminent. Nevertheless, if Kane eventually decides to play in the United States later in his career, Los Angeles FC stands out as a prominent destination due to the presence of Son Heung-min, offering a clear pathway for a potential reunion of the historic Tottenham partnership.
