In a sea of transfer stories that “almost” happened, such as the one with Robert Lewandowski, a cloud of white smoke from an Icelandic volcano, and the already seen signing for Blackburn, long-time and former Burnley manager Sean Dyche offered another one, with Harry Kane as the main actor.It was some eight, nine years ago, more precisely the 2013/14 competitive season when Tottenham was led by Tim Sherwood from the bench, and Kane was far from a standard first-team player, not to mention the status of the first star and leader of Spurs. Burnley wanted an unproven English striker, with only a few games in the Premier League. Dyche personally contacted Sherwood and asked for a price.##NAJAVA_MECA_6667233##”I was told that Kane costs 7,000,000 euros, and our maximum at that time was 3,000,000. It was an unrealistic investment for a guy who has not yet proven himself. I contacted the management, but I got the answer that it was impossible “, Dyche said.However, given his reputation as an advocate of ultra-defensive, anti-football, Kane would hardly be happy at Burnley. Until then, the Turf Moor club had only paid more for Steven Fletcher (4.7 million) and George Boyd (3.8 million). Meanwhile, Burnley made 11 transfers of more than 10,000,000 euros, and the current record holder is the Dutchman Wout Weghorst, who was paid 17,500,000 euros to Wolfsburg last summer.Sean Dyche wanted Harry Kane at Burnley.. #twitterclarets pic.twitter.com/Uv4ZYnoFyk— Burnley FC Clips (@WALBurnleyFC) September 22, 2022 Kane finished the 2013/14 competition with three goals and two assists in 10 appearances, and the following season he scored 21 and set up five goals in 34 matches of the English elite. In the meantime, he was the top scorer of the Premier League three times and came into a situation where he is at the top of the eternal list of the top scorers of island football, looking behind only Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208). It is only a matter of time before the scorer of 189 Premier League goals will break the 200 mark. Oh yes – and let’s not forget he has become the captain of the England national team.
