Ex-Leicester boss Ranieri: I'm wanted in China, but...

Sacked Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has revealed he's a wanted man in China.

However, the Italian insists he wants to remain in Europe as he fields interest from St Etienne this week.

"An agent sent me the photo of the front page of a Chinese newspaper, they were talking about me," said the 65-year-old to Sky Sports.

"He said, 'look, they talk about you in excellent terms!' I replied that I would read this carefully ...

"It is flattering, but I would still prefer to stay in Europe."
