Roma keeper Curci welcomes Stekelenburg battle

AS Roma goalkeeper Gianluca Curci has no problem battling for the No1 spot should Maarten Stekelenburg arrive from Ajax.

Curci, who returned to the club after a spell at Sampdoria, is confident that he'll get a chance to play in 2011-12.

"The competition for a place in the team doesn't scare me," the former Italian Under-21 international told Sky Sport Italia.

"I saw Stekelenburg play at the 2010 World Cup and he's a good 'keeper, but we'll have many games to play.

"We'll be playing in the League, in the Coppa Italia and in the Europa League. I'm hopeful that I will feature."
