Granit Xhaka has opened the door to taking the Arsenal captaincy once again after having the armband stripped from him after the Crystal Palace incident in 2019. Unai Emery made the decision but Mikel Arteta will have a choice to make on who will be the visible leader of the team next season.
"I will never say never. I was not ready for that again,” he told Sky Sports. "A captain of Arsenal can be without an armband, and I am trying to lead the game and the players without the armband, but if tomorrow someone from the football club comes and asks if I want to take it I will be here because I know I am ready again to do it."
However, this decision has split the fan base. Furthermore, it has divided football.london’s Arsenal writers, and below Bailey, Chris and Tom have given their thoughts on whether they would be open to the captain’s armband returning to Xhaka.
