Paul Merson has given his thoughts on who should be the Arsenal captain next season. The former Gunners has claimed that Ben White should be given the captaincy role for the new campaign.
Arsenal’s two previous permanent captains have been stripped of the role due to disciplinary issues, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang departing the club in the January transfer window and Granit Xhaka losing the captaincy in 2019.
Alexandre Lacazette, Kieran Tierney and Martin Odegaard took the responsibility of captaining the side on a temporary basis last season following Aubameyang's January exit. Despite White not being among those given the role over the last six months, Merson believes that the England defender will assume the responsibility next season.
