That just isn't true. The two were a couple months apart.
The Haaland links were when we played them in the CL. Most likely speculative due to the timing of the matches and also the timing of the announcement Agueronwas leaving. 'Club with money needs a striker, here's one of the best', easy link to guess at.
The Kane rumours came after he did his interview. Equally as speculative. 'One of the top PL strikers talks about wanting to win thing, club with money needs a striker' again, piss easy link to guess at. And others then echoing the rumours for fear if being left out.
The rest is people filling in the blanks to make it seem like some know more than others to conclude what they want.
Either guessed rumour could be true, neither could he true, both could be true. Their bases are covered every which way.
