Aaron Ramsdale backs Odegaard to be next Arsenal captain

Mikel Arteta might announce new club captain in the coming weeks.

The Norwegian captain was handed the armband shortly after Alexandre Lacazette was dropped to the bench back in April.

Lacazette is expected to leave in the summer and Arteta would want to announce his successor who will lead the club.

“If you give the armband it can go one of two ways, you either feel the pressure of the team and football club or it gives you a lift that it gives you an opportunity and lead from the front,” Ramsdale told Arsenal legend David Seaman on the Seaman Says Podcast.

“As much as in interviews I’ve joked about Martin, he was at Real Madrid at 16-17, he’s seen all the best players in the world, he’s the captain of his country and for a 23-year-old, he has literally done everything you can in a short amount of time.

“He’s a very calming individual, he might not be the most vocal but you don’t always need your captain to be the most vocal because you could have three or four other leaders who are vocal. You could have two or three leaders who are vocal who perform – for him, he’s relished at the chance of wearing the armband. I have no problems with him being our captain.”
