Newcastle United loan star Joe Willock says he is happy to play for the club for the rest of the season.
Willock joined for the rest of the term from Arsenal, where he was not getting enough game time.
The England under-21 star says he is happy with the plan presented to him by Newcastle boss Steve Bruce about how he will fit into the team.
He also praised Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
Willock told the Daily Mirror: "I have been at Arsenal since four and a half and it is a bit daunting to take a step away from your comfort zone. When Newcastle called, such a massive club, but I love to play for big teams.
"I had a chat with Steve Bruce. First he approached it in a nice way. He asked how I was training and how I was and he approached it by being humorous, he made a few jokes, and I am a funny guy and love to have jokes. That was a starter.
"He talked about how he would use me, where he sees me in the team and he had a whole plan for me. I was shocked. That was the first time I have spoken to a manager and they have had a whole plan for me. He called me a few times and there were a lot of things that made me think this is the right club for me.
"Mikel Arteta is an amazing manager and I have respect for him. He did speak to me and give Steve Bruce a brilliant recommendation and says he is a man true to his word."
He added: "I always went to push on to get better and improve myself. The only way I can do that is playing games. This is the next step in my career.
"I am a box to box midfielder. I score goals and I defend. I run my socks off and I fight every moment for the team.
"I love to play football, love the way they play, it is a really good fit. It is such a fan orientated club.
"I want to score, defend and get up the table, with a run of wins. I want to contribute."
