The academy is based at Barnet and Southgate College and will launch this September.

Tottenham Hotspur star Kane is an avid NFL fan and has been named as the academy's first ambassador.

"I'm so proud to be an Ambassador for the NFL Academy," Kane said. "I'm a huge fan of the NFL and have been following it for a while.

"I'm so excited about the club bringing the NFL to Tottenham and the benefits the partnership has for our local community. I can't wait to see the NFL Academy in action."
