Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton believes he has not yet reached peak form this pre-season – and has more to offer before the opening Premier League game against Everton in two weeks.
The summer signing from Aston Villa was a 70th minute substitute in the 1-1 draw at Preston on Saturday and has featured in all of City's three previous friendlies against Ilkeston, Everton and Walsall.
Despite already showing glimpses of his superb delivery from the flanks, the 24-year-old insists fans are yet to see him at his best.
"There's plenty still in there," he said.
"In the first few games, you are a bit rusty with your touch and everything, but I feel fitter than ever at the minute and, if I can get my touch back and get my form there, I'll be fine."
"To be involved in every single game is what I'm looking to do.
"To be able to do that and get some game time in, that's the main thing for me at the minute.
"My form will hopefully follow that and I'll be ready for the start of the season."
Albrighton will appear in either tonight's match at MK Dons or tomorrow's trip to Rotherham before City's final pre-season clash against Werder Bremen at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Though City are still striving to replicate the crisp, quality football that powered them to last season's Championship title, Albrighton says the squad's fitness will not be an issue come the opening day of the season.
"We've got a couple of weeks left (of pre-season) and we'll be absolutely fine fitness-wise," he said.
"I think we're looking good at the minute and we can only improve.
"I'm not sure what it was like here during training last year, but this year the tempo is so high, everyone's keen to impress and is running about for each other.
"That's how it should be and that can only improve us as a team.
"Competition for places is as high as ever and hopefully that will push every single one of us that extra yard."
