Martin Odegaard is mounting a strong case to become the new permanent Arsenal captain.
Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were Arsenal’s two key skippers last season, but with both players have now left, leaving Arteta looking for a new figurehead.
Although still just 23, Odegaard looks like a top contender after Arteta turned to him for the final eight games of the season last term, and the attacker has already made it clear he’d be ‘happy’ to take the role on a permanent basis this season.
