Leicester City fans are reacting to reports their former manager, Claudio Ranieri, wants three Foxes players and Robert Huth at Fulham.

The Sunday Mirror reported (November 25, page 67) that the right-back Danny Simpson, the left-back Christian Fuchs and the striker Shinji Okazaki are each on Ranieri’s radar, along with the former Leicester centre-back, Huth.

All four players were staples of the Italian’s 2015-16 title-winning side, although Simpson, Fuchs and Okazaki – each of whom are in the final year of their Foxes contracts – have made just one Premier League start between them this season, while Huth has yet to find a new club following his release at the end of last term.

But would Leicester fans want to lose any of them to Fulham?

This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Ranieri, who won his first game as Fulham boss on Saturday, has also been backed by the bookies to sign the former Foxes midfielder Danny Drinkwater from Chelsea.

Fulham welcome Leicester to Craven Cottage a week on Wednesday, in what will be the 67-year-old’s first meeting with his old side since they sacked him in 2017.
