Mikel Arteta and Per Mertesacker are not getting any younger, so Arsenal could see themselves with a new captain fairly soon.

Realistically, you’d expect the armband to change arms next season. Arteta is well into the twilight of his playing career, so you’d expect Mertesacker to take the honour full-time and Santi Cazorla to be vice-captain.

However, what if Arsene Wenger decides on something different? After all, Gabriel Paulista is giving Mertesacker a run for his money in defence and Cazorla is also at the back-end of his illustrious career.

So what other options are there at Arsenal? As it turns out, there’s quite a few and picking five potential future captains for the Gunners was no easy task forĀ Jonathan Kaney.

We must point out these aren’t choices for the next captain, or perhaps even the one after that! Instead, here’s five players who could wear the armband at Arsenal in some stage of their careers.
