The Arsenal captaincy for next season is still yet to be decided with Alexandre Lacazette having given up the responsibility after he left on a free transfer to Lyon. The Gunners have had a long history with captains and controversy.
Lacazette took the armband from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who became the third Arsenal captain after William Gallas and Granit Xhaka to have it stripped from him. Mikel Arteta needs to get the next choice right, but a potentially underplayed candidate may have emerged.
The news was announced that Eddie Nketiah had signed a new deal, whilst he is far from captain’s material at this stage, it was the response to this event which brought out the individual. Some Arsenal fans, although describing them as such is a push, decided it right to reply to the posts with abuse and over-the-top criticism of the decision.
