Nigeria-eligible fullback enjoying his time at Premier League new boys after leaving Arsenal

Nigeria-eligible fullback Daniel Oyegoke has revealed that he is enjoying his time at Premier League new boys Brentford.

A month ago, the England underage international joined the Bees on a three-year contract, with a club option of a further year, after turning down a new deal at Arsenal.

Oyegoke was in action for the Brentford B team as they pulled off impressive wins against League One side Cambridge United and National League club Southend United in pre-season friendlies.

The modern day right-back has gained further experience after facing first team opposition in the recent friendlies.

Speaking to Brentford's official website after the win against Southend United, Oyegoke stated : "It has been amazing, what I have learned so far has been so much about proper football - men's football - and that's what I just want to keep building on, keep building on my knowledge and my game smartness, and just keep progressing and becoming a better player. That's what I feel I am doing here."

Oyegoke has settled in quickly at Brentford B because he knew some of his teammates prior to his arrival which made his transition easier.

On his teammates, he said : "Some proper footballers here, so just happy to be here and be amongst them and hopefully we can all progress together."

Oyegoke was on the books of Arsenal for four years after he was snapped up from Barnet.

A homegrown and an U21 player, he will be registered by Brentford for the new Premier League season.
