Spain striker Fernando Llorente has insisted he is happy with his decision to sign for Juventus in the summer.

Llorente joined the Italian champions following the expiry of his contract with La Liga club Athletic Bilbao, but did not have an easy introduction to life in Serie A.

 


Indeed, the tall striker was initially left out of the Juventus team by Antonio Conte and had to work hard to get his chance.

He was even linked with leaving the club in January as a result, but with things now looking up, Llorente is pleased with his choice.

"I'm reaping the rewards of my work.
