Arsenal midfielder Chuks Aneke is enjoying his loan at Preston North End.
Aneke had a previous spell at Stevenage Borough this season.
"I'm really pleased to have gone out on loan," he told Arsenal.com. "It was good to see another side of football that I didn't really know.
"The game became a lot more serious, and I learned to be more professional in the way I prepare for matches.
"In the lower leagues they do things differently - that is not to say it is worse - and it is good to learn and try to improve your game. I can draw on the things I learned there to make me a better player.
"The style of play at Stevenage was different to what I am used to but I am 100 per cent happy that I went there. The people were lovely and I was welcomed with open arms."
