To sum up just how much things have improved on and off the pitch for Arsenal in the past year, then look no further than the absence of a captaincy issue.
It's now well over 12 months since Gunners manager Mikel Arteta made the big decision to strip Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of the armband as a punishment for another disciplinary issue before entrusting Alexandre Lacazette to skipper the side for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign.
Of course, that was always expected to be a short-term solution and with the Frenchman being released when his contract expired at the end of the season, Arteta needed to name a replacement and did so by appointing Martin Odegaard as Arsenal's new permanent captain last summer.
