New Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri insists he has no plans to raid former club Leicester City in January.

Several of Leicester's fringe players are being linked with a reunion with Ranieri.

"In my career, never I bring back my old players," said Ranieri, when asked if he could reunite with his former Leicester players at Fulham.

"I don't know. Now, for me, I love my players. I haven't met all of them because of internationals but already I love them. And I want them to bring their best.

"After, if there is something that I can say to the chairman 'I need another player because I need this kind of player;' that is another thing. Now I need to work with those players."
