Aaron Ramsdale names "calming individual" as perfect choice as next Arsenal captain

Aaron Ramsdale believes Martin Odegaard should be Arsenal's next permanent captain.

The 23-year-old midfielder was handed the armband by manager Mikel Arteta in April after regular captain Alexandre Lacazette was dropped to the bench, leading the side seven times in the Premier League. He was named as Norway's skipper in March 2021.

Lacazette is set to leave the Emirates when his contract expires later this month and Arteta will be forced to name his successor, as per Premier League rules. There are several candidates at Arsenal, including Ben White, Thomas Partey and Ramsdale. Yet the England goalkeeper believes Odegaard should keep the armband after impressing this season.
