Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri is reportedly lining up a move to sign Islam Slimani from former club Leicester City during the January transfer window.

Fulham have reportedly identified Leicester City forward Islam Slimani as a possible January transfer target.

Cottagers boss Claudio Ranieri brought Slimani to England during his time in charge of Leicester for what is still a club-record £29m fee, but he struggled to live up to his price tag at the King Power Stadium.

The Algeria international is currently on loan at Turkish club Fenerbahce, where he is due to remain until the end of the season.

However, The Telegraph reports that Fenerbahce are willing to terminate the deal early, having seen Slimani score just one league goal for the club so far.

Ranieri is understood to be lining up a reunion with Slimani and is hopeful of securing a transfer for around £15m - just over half the sum Leicester paid to sign him in August 2016.

Leicester are willing to let the 30-year-old join a fellow Premier League outfit should they strike a deal with Fenerbahce, and could also accept taking a loss to offload the striker.
