Juventus forward Juan Cuadrado does not want to go to the Premier League in the summer. He has been linked with Watford and West Ham of late. However, now the Colombian international has come out and put all such claims to rest.

The 30-year-old insists that he wants to stay at Juventus. Cuadrado has plied his trade in the Premier League for Chelsea but did not enjoy a fruitful spell at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking to Sky Italy, Cuadrado said,

"I'm very happy with the club, the city and the people. My family is happy here, I still have one year until my contract runs out but it doesn't only depend on me.

"I always try and do my best and I would be very happy to stay here."
