According to Goal.com, the new captain of London's Arsenal will be Per Mertesacker.
The 31-year-old footballer is one of the most experienced people in the club, so after Mikeli Arteta finishes his career, he will take over the armband.
The German's partner in the heart of defense Laurent Koscielny will become the vice-captain of the Gunners, and if these defenders are not available, the role of the team leader will be taken over by Petr Cech or Theo Walcott.
However, it is worth mentioning that Mertesacker's contract will expire after this season. Nevertheless, it is expected to be extended, as the player has a very high level of trust from his teammates.
