Arsenal's Lansbury enjoying Watford experience

Arsenal winger Henri Lansbury is delighted with his form on-loan at Watford.

The Arsenal midfielder joined the Hornets in August and is due to stay at Vicarage Road until the end of the year.

"It's going very well," he told Arsenal.com. "We've played some good teams and I think we have held our own. It's another step up for me and it's another challenge to go in there and play well and show what I can do. The Watford lads have made me feel welcome and I like it there.

"I definitely notice the intensity at that level. It is a major step-up and when you go to League football, it's a different level to the Reserves. You go there and you've got to win because the players are fighting for their bonuses, they don't want to lose. It's a good challenge.

"I started playing off the front man but now I've dropped into central midfield and I think I prefer playing in central midfield and getting involved. I scored my first goals against Sheffield Wednesday and that was a good feeling. I want to press on now and score more."
