Mikel Arteta has already made his decision on the Arsenal captaincy for this season but there remains one serious contender to take the armband next campaign.
"Laca is the captain at the moment yes," the Spaniard confirmed on Wednesday in his press conference ahead of the clash with Wolves having previously only committed to naming a leadership group including Rob Holding and Granit Xhaka.
Alexandre Lacazette is the obvious candidate to succeed his good friend Aubameyang as the oldest member of the squad - despite being just 30-years-of-age himself! - and also a popular presence in the Arsenal dressing room.
