Who should captain Arsenal next season?

After running our feature on who is Arsenal’s greatest captain, it’s now time to see who should captain the Gunners next season.

With club captain Mikel Arteta’s contract running out, and his likely departure imminent, the captaincy role is once again vacant. The captain’s armband has been a dubious role at Arsenal in recent years. It has been used as tool to keep players at the club, but also given to players who can barely make it onto the pitch. Not since Patrick Vieira, has Arsenal had an ever present and strong leader.

Arsenal lack a true leader at the moment, but that could be solved if the right man is given the armband, so who should it be?
