Fernando Llorente admits Juventus coach Antonio Conte had a big influence on his decision to move to Turin.
Llorente moved to Turin in the summer on a Bosman free transfer after his contract at Athletic Bilbao expired.
"I'm happy to be playing for this club," he told beIN Sport. "It is a great one who believed in me and that was the most important thing.
"Before arriving I regularly spoke with Conte and his belief in me pushed me to sign for Juventus.
"It was difficult at the start for me to settle in Italy. This was a new club, a new language - everything was tough.
"But I feel much better and I want to demonstrate what I can do."
