Iaquinta insisted that he has intentions of leaving Turin despite the tough challenge he faces to earn himself a starting role.

"I am happy to stay here and I am just thinking about Juve," the Italy international told Rai Sport.

"It seems to me that these links with Roma are just the same old rumors and I don’t take them seriously.

"We have four strikers, five if you include Sebastian Giovinco, and we will all have to play hard if we want to get a starting shirt.

"But the positive side is that we are more competitive than last year’s squad and we will take on anyone."

Iaquinta struggled to play regularly for Claudio Ranieri's side in his first season at Olimpico, as Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet led the scoring charts in the Serie A last term.
