Arsenal midfielder Denilson feels he's improved his game this season.

"I feel I have improved a lot and every day there is room to improve more," he told Arsenal TV Online.

"Nobody is perfect and I wish I could perform brilliantly every match, but I always do my best to stay on in the team.

"I have been given the opportunity and I believe I am making the most of it.

"I know about my potential and I am still working to stay as long as possible in the first team.

"When you arrive at the training ground you have to forget everything outside and focus on your job - you have to think not only about yourself, but also of the team and the manager who is the one giving you that trust."

Denilson. who was brought up on the tough streets of Sao Paolo and lost his mother when he was a child, added: "When I stop and look back at everything I have been through, it just gives more desire to be a winner in life.

"I think this made me work and fight even harder to win in life and win at Arsenal."
