Mikel Arteta could be spoilt for choice when it comes to naming the next Arsenal captain as a few more contenders have emerged to challenge Kieran Tierney and Martin Odegaard for the honour.
Following the decision to take the armband away from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last December as a punishment for another disciplinary issue, the Gunners manager entrusted Alexandre Lacazette to skipper the side for the remainder of the 2021/22 season, although that was always expected to be a short-term solution.
And with confirmation that the Frenchman is leaving Arsenal at the end of the month, not only does Arteta have to bring in a striker as a replacement - amid interest in Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus - but he will also have to name Lacazette's successor with regards to the captaincy going into the 2022/23 season.
