[Editor's note: Reposting this article as there are only a few days left in the campaign. Let's get Harry Kane on the cover of FIFA 15 in the UK! #VOTEKANE!]
As if Harry Kane's prominence in the new FIFA 16 trailer wasn't enough, for the first time EA Sports is allowing football fans to vote on who will appear on the new game's cover. And Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane is one of the choices.
It would be a dream to be on the @EASPORTSFIFA 16 cover! #VoteKane #FIFA16UKcover http://t.co/DreeOd3FDJ pic.twitter.com/71hdHXEYfn

EA is staging a fan-driven poll beginning today on who will appear beside Lionel Messi in the forthcoming football game, the latest version of the long-running and immensely popular series. Harry Kane is one of the choices alongside Liverpool's Jordan Henderson, Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois, and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.
There are several ways to vote: visit www.fifa16cover.co.uk OR www.easports.com/fifa16ukcover once a day throughout the poll's duration; each vote is worth one point. Sharing your vote on social media (Twitter, Google+, Facebook) with the hashtags #FIFA16UKcover and #VoteKane will earn Harry an additional ten points in the voting. In addition, you can also cast additional votes by playing FIFA 15 after selecting Kane in the portal.
The poll runs from today through July 5.
This vote will determine the FIFA 16 cover for the editions in the United Kingdom with similar votes in Latin America, Australia, and France, but this vote will NOT include the edition sold in the United States. So American FIFA fans should probably expect to see Messi and either Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey, or Alex Morgan on their front cover. Soz, m8s.
