Leicester City's Christian Fuchs Wants to Play in the NFL When He Retires

With the fairytale season Leicester City have had, why shouldn't Christian Fuchs be fully confident that he can pull off the improbable?

The Foxes moved seven points clear atop the Premier League table with a win over Southampton on Sunday, and the club are poised to be the most improbable champions of the modern era.

And Fuchs is rightfully brimming with confidence.

The defender wants to move from one variety of football to another when he finishes up in England. Fuchs wants to kick in the NFL.

As per Sky Sports (h/t SI.com):

"

I have ambitions to become an NFL kicker. Seriously. Depending on the managers in the NFL. If they want a footballer in their team but I am very much up for it. 

I know I can kick 60 yards or so or [65-yard] field goal. Let's see. Dreams can come true you know if you don't dream you won't reach anything.

"

Earlier this year, Leicester and the Carolina Panthers formed an unlikely bromance across the Atlantic.

Fuchs also showed off his skills in the NFL Keepy-Up Challenge.

Only time will tell if his footballing skills will translate to, well, football.
