Roma forward Gervinho has suggested that he wasn't given the full faith of Arsenal staff when playing for the club.
The Ivorian has since joined Roma after a move in the summer of 2013, and he has attracted attention following a number of standout performances, most recently in his side's draw with Manchester City in the Champions League.
"At Roma the coach and the staff showed confidence in me from the first day – and because of that I have able to show exactly what I am capable of," said Gervinho, according to the Daily Mail.
"I think the proof of what I can do is shown by a coach that has confidence in me. Maybe Arsenal now think they should have shown more confidence in me – but that is not my problem. All my concentration is on a successful season with Roma."
Gervinho has notched 10 goals in 35 appearances for the Serie A side.
