Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed the club held talks with Harry Kane's representatives over a potential move this summer, but a deal was 'never close'.
Tottenham striker Kane was locked in a lengthy transfer saga during the window after revealing he wanted to leave, with Manchester City also heavily interested.
But after neither club matched his hefty £150million price tag, Kane announced he would remain in north London, despite Tuchel believing he would join City.
'We never had a list with his name on it and I never went to Marina [Granovskaia] to tell her to buy him,' Tuchel added.
