“I’ve got some qualities to be captain”- Arsenal star all set to fill in for Aubameyang as skipper

Arsenal has been under a crisis as they currently lack players who are captains material for the team after their previous captain Aubameyang seemed to have run out of favours with the Gunner boss, Mikel Arteta.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will most probably make a move from Arsenal this January after the Gabonese striker has repeatedly denied to not sign a new contract with the Gunners and Mikel Arteta has decided to keep him out of the squad for the past few matches.

The absence of the striker is not a problem for Arsenal currently as they have won their last 4 matches back to back after Aubameyang was dropped from the squad. The only question that Mikel Arteta has on his mind will be regarding the captaincy of the Gunners.

Ben White the 24-year-old centre back for Arsenal is one of the leading choices for the captaincy alongside Aaron Ramsdale. Both of the players are young and has not even completed a season for the Gunners.

Ben White in the recent interview with talksport when asked about being the captain of Arsenal said, “I’ve never done it before, but it would obviously be an absolute honour to be captain.”

“I think I’ve got some of the qualities to be captain, but we’ll see in time.”
