Paul Merson has made the case for 'outstanding' Kieran Tierney to become Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang's successor as the new Arsenal captain, despite making an error against Liverpool.
Tierney, 24, has become a fan favourite among the Arsenal faithful and despite his injury issues, his characteristics when leading the team have led to calls suggesting the Scotsman is the ready made captain.
Aubameyang was stripped of the duties after disciplinary reasons that have since seen him frozen out of Mikel Arteta's plans in the short-term with the Gabonese having recently been representing his nation at the Africa Cup of Nations.
