Emmanuel Adebayor believes Arsenal fans are now "seeing the best" of him - and says the table-topping Gunners are "ready for the title fight".
The Togo striker has helped fill the void left by Thierry Henry's departure to Barcelona with a number of impressive performances.
The former Monaco striker believes Arsenal and himself have benefited from Henry's departure - and are learning to fly high at the top of the table.
"People are seeing the best of me this season because I play more and I have more opportunities," Adebayor told skysports.com.
"My team-mates trust me more and also our game is not based on a world class striker (Henry).
"Don't get me wrong with the talent of Titi, it was a natural thing to go through him."
