MLS Commissioner Don Garber Welcomes Harry Kane Interest Following England Milestones

Harry Kane reached 91 international goals during his record-equalling 125th England cap in a 3-0 win against Czechia.

England captain Harry Kane extended his international goal tally to 91 during a 3-0 Nations League victory against Czechia on Tuesday. The match marked Kane's record-equalling 125th appearance for his country. The 33-year-old striker, who recently won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and a World Cup bronze medal, scored six goals during a four-match international camp.

MLS commissioner Don Garber stated that Kane's expressed interest in moving to the United States represents the "fulfilment of the dream" to build a league that attracts world-class talent. Garber, who has held his post since 1999 and will transition to chairman at the turn of the year, credited David Beckham’s 2007 move to LA Galaxy as the catalyst for this growth. The league's global profile further accelerated with Lionel Messi’s 2023 signing for Inter Miami.

Kane previously revealed his interest in an eventual MLS move while discussing his aspirations to become an NFL kicker. He enters the Ballon d'Or race having recorded 73 goals for club and country over the past season. Garber noted that the league's current dynamic, which successfully competed against Barcelona and Saudi Arabian interests to sign Messi, provides the foundation for attracting players of Kane's caliber as the league aims for greater competitiveness in the Club World Cup.
