Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is looking forward to a fresh challenge at Celtic Park.
The former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder helped Celtic to a double after joining on a short-term contract in February.
The 32-year-old has re-signed and is eager to add to his honours.
Speaking ahead of Celtic’s William Hill Premiership opener against Dundee on Monday, the 35-times capped England international said: "When the opportunity to come here last year came up, the fact that it was going to be a challenge, I really enjoyed that.
"The idea of just trying to do whatever I could to give some experience or, at times, a few moments of quality that could help the lads go on to achieve what we did. The way it ended up was like dreamland stuff.
"That’s what I thrive off. I’m fortunate enough to have been in teams where there is an expectation to win but also, at the same time, the reality is there’s a lot of really, really good teams that make it really hard to win. I thrive in that pressure cooker.
"That’s exactly the same mentality that’s here. I definitely need that and especially now, I think that helps me bring the most out of myself at this point in my career."
Oxlade-Chamberlain was without a club for the first half of last season after agreeing to terminate his contract with Besiktas.
He had also spent the previous summer frozen out of the team following a decision by Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The midfielder feels the benefit of joining up with his Celtic team-mates ahead of the real action.
He said: "This is probably actually my first proper pre-season in a good three years.
"You still get that same buzz and I’m still running around with a few 16, 17-year-olds out there who are excited. So you feed off that energy and you feel the same age as always.
"Without the pre-season you can never 100 per cent know if you’re fully fit or durable enough to last for the whole season. So that’s really important.
"We’ll have to see early on how that goes and how I’m feeling. But right now I feel great."
The 32-year-old, who has previously won a full set of major trophies in England as well as the Champions League, is hungry for more honours.
He added: "Having that and having the hunger and young players pushing and striving to be the best they can and go and win as much as they can, that’s massive."
