Arsenal winger Gervinho is convinced of the talent coming through in Africa.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admitted he was underwhelmed by this year's African Nations Cup.

But Ivorian Gervinho told arsenal.com: "In my opinion, African football has been improving every year," he said. "I think that it's already got to a very good level with all the teams and good players of a very good quality.

"African football is coming up to a good level, even if we saw to our cost with the performance of Zambia in the tournament, but this competition will make it easier all [African footballers] to progress and we should all be happy with that."
