Bayern Munich star Harry Kane was spotted dancing with Nigerian Afrobreats star Burna Boy at a club in New York on Monday, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has ended, and most players who were involved with their countries have already gone on breaks, as they look to wind off and blow off steam before resuming for pre-season.

Bayern Munich star Kane was heavily involved with his England side at the Mundial, as he contributed six goals and one assist in the run-up to their third-place finish.

Now, he he is already on his short break. And interestingly, he was spotted with Burna Boy dancing and vibing to some Nigerian songs at a club in the US.

Burna Boy was also quite busy at the World Cup, as he collaborated with Shakira for the theme song “Dai Dai”. He also performed at the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony on Sunday.

Kane, who was in a white shirt, was dancing slowly to Burna Boy’s hit song “Last Last” with the Afrobeat star and members of his team.

Both stars meeting and spending time together is an anomaly, especially as both of them have different lifestyles and operate in different industries. Also, there hasn’t been any video or pictures of them together in the past.

Kane is expected to return to his Bayern Munich side next week to start his pre-season. The new Bundesliga campaign will kick off on August 28, and he will be hoping to continue producing the goals and assists for his side as they look to retain their title and win the UEFA Champions League.
