Sean Dyche has revealed he attempted to sign Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea when the current Burnley boss was in charge of Watford.
Dyche was appointed Hornets manager in June 2011, and guided the Hertfordshire club to an 11th placed Championship finish in his only season in charge; he was dismissed at the end of the campaign due to the arrival of the Pozzo family.
Considering just how poor the playing squad was during that season, it is a not a surprise Dyche was looking to strengthen his team in the January transfer window.
