Valencia winger Joaquin has confessed that he is flattered by recent attention from Juventus.

There were reports in the Italian Press last week that Juve sporting director Alessio Secco travelled to Valencia after the Bianconeri's win over Real Madrid.

Secco was allegedly keen to discuss a deal for Spanish international Joaquin, who could give the Turin giants' midfield a much-needed shot in the arm.

“It's always pleasing when a team takes a look at you,” Joaquin told Spanish newspaper AS.

“It's a reward for a player, especially when it's an important club like Juventus.

“It shows that I am working well and these things always make you proud.”

Joaquin found the net for Valencia in last weekend's 3-0 La Liga win over Getafe.
