Gervinho hoping to deliver much more for Arsenal

Arsenal attacker Gervinho knows he can produce much more for the club as his debut season starts coming to a close.

The 24-year old Ivory Coast international has been solid with four goals and seven assists so far this term but has been criticised for being inefficient in front of goal.

Gervinho, who arrived at the Emirates from Lille last summer, is aware he has missed chances at times and is working hard to put that right so he can become a better Arsenal player.

"I am happy about my first season but I know I can do better," he told the club's official website.

"I have scored and given assists but I also created a few chances that I missed. If I had been more efficient, it would have been even better.

"I need to work hard at training to become more clinical in front of goal. I'm not worried though.

"People say that the second season is always better for a foreign player but I don't think it will be much easier.

"Every game is tough for me because the level of competition is so high in the Premier League, and every time you have to be at your best."
