Sean Dyche reveals he nearly signed Harry Kane for Burnley but the club REFUSED to meet Spurs' £7m asking price... as the England captain was still an 'unproven' talent in the league

Sean Dyche has revealed he nearly signed a young Harry Kane for Burnley, but the club refused to meet Spurs' asking price.

The England captain was playing under Tim Sherwood at the time, who Dyche has revealed priced Burnley out of the signing the Spurs forward.
