Former Boca Juniors midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is delighted with his move to Juventus.

Bentancur admits Carlos Tevez had a big influence on his decision to join Juve.

“I'm very happy and content to be here," the Uruguay Under-20 international told his new club's official website.

“I'm happy that a team like Juventus were interested in bringing me here. It's a great honour and I'm happy for this opportunity.

“I watch Serie A often, it's different to Argentine football, it's a very physical competition, but it's a new opportunity, I'm young and I'll try to make the most of it.

“Did Tevez talk to me about Juve? Once I knew I could go to Turin, I talked to Carlitos. He told me great things [about the club]."
