Juventus striker Fernando Llorente has hailed his new teammates ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign.

Llorente signed for the Italian champions this summer alongside Carlos Tevez and Angelo Ogbonna, and the former Athletic Bilbao forward has spoken of the quality his new side possess.

"[The squad] is magnificent, an incredible group. It has been a real surprise," Llorente told the club's official website.

"Perhaps other teams have excellent players like ours, but it's different here. Everyone is friends and great teammates. I feel really good here."

Juventus will play Everton in San Francisco on Thursday.
