CRYSTAL Palace boss Neil Warnock has admitted he looked to sign Tottenham striker Harry Kane on loan when he arrived back the club.
The 66-year-old is a fan of the England U21 international but said the chances of landing him were fairly slim due to Spurs' involvement in the Europa League.
"I've tried to get him a few times this year," Warnock said at his pre-match press conference on Thursday morning.
"He's a good lad, a genuine lad. He's an exciting player. And his first thought when he gets the ball is positive.
"When I came (back to Palace), he wasn't involved at the time at Spurs.
"We thought there was a chance of getting him on loan but unfortunately they're in that horrible cup on a Thursday night!"
