Striker plans to stay at Juve

Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta has rejected talk linking him with Chelsea. Reports in Italy and England have suggested Chelsea are weighing up a move for the Italian international in this month's transfer window. Chelsea are believed to be in the market for a new forward as they look to bring in cover for Didier Drogba while he is away at the African Cup of Nations. Iaquinta, who has recently returned from injury, admits he is flattered to be linked with Chelsea, but insists he is happy to stay at Juventus. "I'm flattered by market rumours, but I'm interested only in Juventus," Iaquinta told the club's official website. "I feel good here and I don't want to leave. I've been sorry to have not been able to help the team in this period of difficulty, but now I'm ready to give my help. "I believe in this group, in this club and it's people. We are convinced that we still have possibilities to do well and for this reason market rumours should not distract us from our sporting objectives."
