Arsenal's French defender Bacary Sagna has claimed he has already improved during his time at the London club. Sagna has contributed immensely to Arsenal's bright start and has slotted in well in the right-back role since signing from Auxerre.

"I think I improved," he said. "Most of all on the technical aspect. But I know that the road is still long.

"That is why I give my best day by day. I play regularly, but everything can change quickly. I have to remain focused.

"My technical improvement is due to training methods at Arsenal. We do a lot of passing games and play in small zones at training.

"I think I have to continue to work in defence, sometimes I give possession away stupidly, and on the offensive aspect I have to be more decisive."
