CLAUDIO RANIERI has promised to buy Fulham stars McDonald's if they can manage a clean sheet in a desperate bid to fix the club's leaky defence.

The former Leicester boss, 67, tempted his Foxes stars with pizza during their title-winning 2015-16 season and will do similarly now.
Claudio Ranieri will treat Fulham stars to McDonald's if they keep a clean sheet
Ranieri took over the reins from axed Slavisa Jokanovic with the club dead-last in the Premier League after a horror start to 2018-19.
With the Italian preparing for his first game against Southampton next weekend, Ranieri was hilariously asked if he'd repeat his free pizza for a clean sheet stunt.
And Ranieri replied: "I have to organise something more, the pizza is not enough now.
"Let me think... everybody to McDonald's!
Fulham currently sit dead-last in the Premier League having conceded 31 goals
"If you see Fulham conceded a lot of goals and I am an Italian, and it’s important to maintain the clean sheet."
Meanwhile, Ranieri confessed his ecstasy at his return to the Premier League, saying: "I am very happy to come back.
"The best league in the world and I am very happy. Mr Khan called me and now we work together."
The 2015-16 Premier League-winning boss went on to say he is confident in keeping Fulham up despite their horror start to the season - conceding a league-high 31 goals.
Claudio Ranieri is considering drastic measures to save Fulham
Ranieri claimed the club must have a short-term memory, adding: "Forget what happened yesterday.
"I am an ambitious man, I have good players but choose those that show me fighting spirit.
"When players and fans help each and understand we are all together in the same way and now I need the support of our fans to try do our best."
