Arsenal fringe star Emile Smith Rowe has shed light on the feeling of working with manager Mikel Arteta.
The Spaniard has been known for his intense demeanor and hard work on the training ground.
While Smith Rowe is struggling for game time under Arteta this season, he only has praise for the atmosphere at the club.
Training is really intense actually," the 23-year-old told Arsenal's media.
"I think it's got to be like that to keep pushing every day and to keep improving, and the manager demands that.
"It's nice to be high up in the league, but in training, you are not thinking about that you just want to get better every day and keep improving.
I love that side of it. Everybody has to prove that they can play here, so it means every session you have to be at your best. It's a great environment to be in."
