Former Burnley boss Sean Dyche has revealed that the Clarets could have signed Harry Kane for just £7million before his big breakthrough at Tottenham - but the club couldn't afford to meet Spurs' demands.
Kane has evolved into a household name at Tottenham, but he was a late bloomer. The 29-year-old enjoyed successful loan spells in the EFL at Leyton Orient and Millwall as a teenager but failed to muscle his way into the first-team fold at Spurs until the 2014/15 season - almost three years after his stint in the Championship with the Lions.
Dyche, who had guided Burnley back to the top-flight, had identified Kane as a potential marquee signing back in the summer of 2014 and was hopeful of doing a deal for the Tottenham academy graduate, who had failed to impress during stints at Norwich and Leicester City.
