Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has insisted that the North London club are yet to shift into top gear this season.

The Gunners, following the opening day defeat to Liverpool, have made a steady recovery this season and have managed 10 points in their last four games.

After helping the Gunners beat Hull City 4-1 on Saturday, Walcott suggests the best is yet to come from Arsene Wenger's side while indicating that they are now a more ruthless side.

"I think so," he told arsenal.com.

"Maybe in the time gone we might have been bullied in these sorts of games, but everyone was physically strong and we're getting better, stronger and fitter in each game now.

"I think the best of us is still to come."
