Granit Xhaka insists he is ready to retake Arsenal's captain armband as Mikel Arteta prepares to name his new skipper.
The Spaniard has yet to name Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's successor after he was stripped of the captaincy before his exit to Barcelona. Alexandre Lacazette has been wearing the armband in the interim, until recently, but is unlikely to receive it on a permanent basis with the striker set to leave as a free agent in the summer.
Kieran Tierney and Martin Odegaard have been tipped to be Arsenal's next captain, but Arteta has yet to make a final decision on the matter. And Xhaka, who has previously been stripped of the armband, reveals he would be willing to take it if he was called upon as his revival at the Emirates continues.
