For the past few seasons, Arsenal skippers have had the rather ironic task of writing program notes for matches they wouldn’t be involved in. Thomas Vermalean and Mikel Arteta are the last two Arsenal captains and both found themselves frozen out of the side. The former lost his place to Per Mertesacker after a string of bad performances and found himself third choice in the pecking order before his move to Barca. The latter suffered a serious ankle injury in November which ruled him out for the rest of the season, though the form of Francis Coquelin would have probably condemned him to the bench anyway.

My point? Wenger has dropped the ball when it comes to selecting the skipper recently, and with Arteta on his way out and the current crop of relatively young but seasoned veterans now cementing themselves, the time will soon come for Wenger to take his pick one again. Current vice captain Per Mertesacker is next in line and will get the nod for the foreseeable future, but with the German ageing as well, the next selection will be crucial.

For me Aaron Ramsey is the clear choice. The Welshman absolutely leads by example with his lung bursting charges into the box, and that kind of commitment screams of leadership. Box to box for the entire 90 minutes plus stoppage time, putting a real shift for the good of the team. Have a look at three reasons Ramsey is destined be a future Arsenal captain.

    Fully agree – the lad is a true professional, and when on form he carries the team with him. If he can get back to full fitness this season then Arsenal will truly be in with a good chance at the title.

    Rambo, as I fondly call him fully deserve when its time for him to handle it. when the time comes for that, his contribution to the team play speaks volume of that. just hope he will have the mental capacity to for that when the time comes, unlike when he was given his country’s captaincy
