The 24-year-old joined the Eredivisie club on a season-long loan after falling out of the first team picture at Celtic under Brendan Rodgers.
But despite not featuring at all yet, Lagerbielke is comfortable at his new club.
He said: “It feels like it’s only a matter of time until I get to play, and I’m looking forward to that.
“I enjoy myself here and I feel like I’ve settled in well.
“I didn’t get much playing time at Celtic and both me and the club agreed that a loan would be very good for both parties.
“Then I considered my options and there were a few clubs in many different countries interested. I compared the advantages and disadvantages of all and had meetings with different clubs.
“After the meeting with Twente it felt like it was a very good match.
“They have a very clear focus on development with the way they train. They have a fairly small squad where they put a lot of responsibility on each player.
“That combined with playing in the Dutch league which is very good, together with the Europa League felt like a perfect combination.
“It’s about being able to play and be an important player in the team. With that comes development.
“Not playing so far is not something I worry about.
“I’d say I’m at the best place in my career That’s how I feel about my own ability, both physically, tactically, technically, mentally and everything. I feel I am in a very good place.
“In terms of football, I feel like I’m at the highest level I’ve been at in my life, then I just hope to show that on the pitch soon as well.”
