Alexandre Lacazette lists four players who could take Arsenal captaincy

Alexandre Lacazette will be the new captain of the Arsenal squad.

The Frenchman took over the captaincy role from Aubameyang after the latter was stripped off the armband back in December.

Lacazette is out of contract in the summer and is unlikely that he will accept a contract extension.

Mikel Arteta has to decide on a new captain after his departure and Lacazette himself names four players who could succeed him at the Emirates.

‘There is some future captains,’ said Lacazette. ‘Gabriel, big Gabi, has got presence, leadership at the back. I think when he’s going to be more fluent with English, it will help a lot.

‘Ben White as well, he’s more quiet maybe, but by the way he plays he can be a good leader and maybe with edge can build up.

‘Sambi Lokonga, but he’s already been a captain in the past so it’s not hard to say he can be a good captain.

‘Kieran as well because I think he’s been a captain as well in the past for the national team a few times. You can see some future captains, or leaders.’
