Leeds United loanee Tom Adeyemi has revealed that he is settling in well at his new club.
The 23-year-old became the sixth player to join the Whites this summer when making a season-long switch from Championship rivals Cardiff City.
Adeyemi has yet to feature for Leeds due to an injury problem, but he admits that the Yorkshire outfit's tour of Austria and Norway provides "the perfect environment" for new recruits to integrate themselves.
"It's been good," he told the club's official website of his pre-season to date. "It's been hard work, to be honest, in the heat and with the intense training that the gaffer likes us to do. It's been tough but we're all enjoying it and we're definitely going to be feeling the benefits once the season starts.
"The heat takes it out of you a little bit more than what it would do if we were training back in England, but that's perfect because I think that it'll all feel a little bit easier when we do get back. I've missed a little bit of training compared to what some of the other boys have had, so I'm maybe playing a little bit of catch-up.
"It's the perfect environment to [bond] because we're all in one hotel, we all have three meals today together and it's the best opportunity to get to know all the lads. It seems like a really good group."
Adeyemi could make his debut in Tuesday's friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt.
