Watch Tottenham star Harry Kane cough and sweat his way through spicy hot wing challenge as he talks about his future
HARRY KANE followed in the footsteps of the likes of Gordon Ramsey, Billie Eilish and DJ Khaled to become the latest star to appear on Hot Ones.
The YouTube show sees celebrities interviewed by host Sean Evans as they eat progressively spicier wings and answer progressively tougher questions.
And given host Sean Evans history of asking tough questions, many were expecting him to ask one or two curve balls about Kane’s Tottenham future.
But fans hoping for a pairing of hot food and tough questions would have been left disappointed by the video.
The Spurs forward was not asked any questions about his Spurs future as it hangs in the balance this transfer window.
Bayern Munich hold a concrete interest in the forward and have already had a bid of around £60million rejected.
According to reports in Germany, Harry Kane has already agreed personal terms with the Bavarian club following meetings with Thomas Tuchel and senior club officials.
PSG are also thought to be readying a bid for Kane as they look to back new manager Luis Enrique.
Prior to the interview Kane admitted that he “wasn’t great” around spicy food and admitted it “wasn’t something I had a lot”.
The closest Kane and Evans came to talking about the forward’s future was when he was asked about his well-publicised ambition of becoming an NFL kicker after retiring.

Evans said: “I’m fascinated by your dream to one day be a field goal kicker in the NFL… I’m curious if you sympathise or empathise with the plight of the field goal kicker, a position that naturally lends itself to being defined by its biggest failures and lowest moments?”
Kane said he sympathised with kickers because their field kicks drew comparisons with shooting from the penalty spot.
He said: “In terms of specific positions in sport there’s not many roles like the kicker.
“If you miss one, people will remember that forever so you have to stay good in those moments.”
He then said: “It’s similar to a penalty, you have the moment to be a hero, or you have a moment to be a villain.”
Kane famously scored and missed a penalty in England’s 2-1 defeat to France at last year’s World Cup so the comparison may have been a not so subtle allusion to that.
When asked if he would pursue his goal of being a kicker he said: “We’ll see, maybe.”
The forward held his own well during the interview, despite the ascending scoville factor of the wings not being in his favour.
He did cough and splutter at one point, with the forward struggling particularly with a wing topped with ‘Abdoloco’ spice.
He mentioned that his personal favourite goal was his debut strike for England against Lithuania.
He said: “I think my favourite goal was my England debut goal, I came on for Wayne Rooney who was someone I looked up to.
“I remember him running off the pitch and me running on and within three minutes of the game I scored my first goal.
“The emotion in that moment was just something nice.
“It was hard to describe, I had all my family there in the stadium, my friends, my wife Kate and to share that moment… I remember it so vividly now.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham look set to offer Kane a bumper contract to convince him to see out his career at the club.
According to reports, he has been offered £400k-a-week plus a coaching role when he calls time on his career if he is to retire at the club.
