Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp has heaped praise on Mikel Arteta for choosing Martin Odegaard to captain Arsenal in recent weeks.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the club's captaincy back in December following a disciplinary breach and the Gabon international eventually left for Barcelona during the January transfer window. Alexandre Lacazette has donned the armband since, with Kieran Tierney wearing it in the veteran striker's absence.
However, Lacazette and Tierney have both been sidelined, with the former testing positive for Covid-19 whilst the latter suffered a season-ending injury last month - leaving young playmaker Odegaard to lead the Gunners instead. Now, former Spurs maestro Redknapp has praised Arteta for choosing the Norwegian as the skipper following Sunday's 2-1 win against West Ham United.
