Arsenal can improve on their superlative Premier League form, believes Wes Morgan, who also lauded Erling Haaland s Premier League start.
The Gunners lead the title race this season, holding an eight-point lead over defending champions Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta s side have been the team to beat in the English top-flight this term, and could end a near-two-decade wait for the crown if they hold their nerve.
But Morgan, who famously captained Leicester City to the Premier League title in 2016, feels that they may still have a way to go before they hit their ceiling.
Arsenal, they ve been building over the last couple of seasons, he told Stats Perform. That young squad firing at the top of the league, [it should not be a surprise].
They will only get better and better from this experience this season. I don t see why they can t continue the good work they ve been doing and get even better.

How important will he be in the Gunners run-in?

There s still plenty of points up for grabs. It s down to them to see if they falter. Anything can happen in football, but it s down to Arsenal to lose it.
City have been kept on Arsenal s heels by Leeds-born Norway international Haaland, whose tally of 28 goals this term is edging him closer to the Premier League single-season record of 34.
Morgan feels he has the potential to write more history, adding: He s incredible. I love watching him, [with] his power, his pace. I m not sure how I would cope against him.
He s taken the Premier League by storm. I hope he breaks all the records. He s given himself a high bar for next season, but he s a fantastic player. I m glad he s in the Premier League for us to watch.
Both teams return to action on Saturday, with Arsenal due to meet relegation battlers Leeds United and City set to face former title rivals Liverpool.
