Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri plans to return to Leicester City in January to boost his newly inherited squad.

The Mirror says Ranieri is looking to be re-united with his friends from Leicester City.

The new Fulham boss has his eyes fixed on several of the squad that helped him towards the Premier League title with the Foxes.

Full-backs Danny Simpson and Christian Fuchs have hardly been used by Claude Puel this term.

Striker Shinji Okazaki has also found himself on the outside at the King Power Stadium.

All three may be moved on by the powers-that-be at the east Midlands club with Ranieri also keeping tabs on Robert Huth's situation.
