Harry Redknapp admits he tried to sign Tottenham star Harry Kane for QPR.

Speaking to Prostate Cancer UK, Redknapp admitted that he twice tried bringing the 21-year-old to Loftus Road on a loan deal.

He said: "I tried to take him on loan at QPR. I was going to loan him at the start of last season and the season before and it fell through.

"He ended up going to Norwich, went to Leicester, but didn't have great times there really. Tottenham loaned him out but he's come back to Tottenham and now he's made the breakthrough. It has been great for him this year, his confidence must be sky high.

"He's a smashing lad as well and a really good player. You love to see a boy like that doing well. He's a down to earth normal lad; there's no big time Charlie. He's a really lovely boy."
