HARRY KANE almost signed on loan for German side Union Berlin in 2012, according to Nico Schafer.
Schafer was head of football at the now Bundesliga side between 2011-2016, and had an interest in the England captain.
The German believed Kane was the perfect man to bring the Union Berlin attack together.
In particular, Schafer was a fan of Kane’s strength but revealed the Tottenham star was not keen on the move.
Schafer told German outlet SportBild: “Kane would’ve built our attack together with Simon Terodde in the 2. Bundesliga.
“His strength in the air was noticeable. And he was a striker who went down very often. He would have been a very good fit for Union.
“Despite Union’s special relationship with English football, Kane wanted to stay in England.”
Instead, Kane made his Premier League debut in the first month of the 2012/13 season.
He then joined Norwich on loan but struggled and spent the second half of the season on loan at Leicester in the Championship, playing alongside Jamie Vardy.

Kane slowly but surely played his way into the Tottenham side and has gone on to captain England.
He led by example in the Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark and although he scored, several fans praised the striker for his passing ability.
Kane produced an outstanding pre-assist to put Bukayo Saka in behind the defence, and his cross was turned into the net by Denmark defender Simon Kjaer.
