Iaquinta agent quells Blues link

Vincenzo Iaquinta's agent has confirmed Chelsea's interest in the Italy striker but insists his client is happy to stay with Juventus.

The Blues have managed well without strikers Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou over the past few weeks - scoring 12 goals in their last two games despite limited options up front.

Still keen to bolster his attacking line, though, boss Carlo Ancelotti is reported to have expressed an interest in the Italy international who played and scored against the west London club in the Champions League not long ago.

The player's agent, though, insists he is staying at Juventus and has quashed such exit talk.

"It is a normal thing that Chelsea may have enquired about an important player like Iaquinta, who is estimated by Carlo Ancelotti," Andrea D'Amico told Sportitalia.

"But this does not mean that he will go. "For Juventus, he is absolutely unsellable," he said.
