METERSACKER named new Arsenal captain

Despite his contract being up at the end of the season, the German has been chosen to lead the Gunners this season. The 31-year old will captain the side for this campaign supported by Koscielny as the most experienced player in the squad.

“Per is a very respected figure in the dressing room, is loved as well and is also a very demanding figure. I think it is absolutely natural to be [him]."
“[In his absence] that’s where it will be taken by the assistants. One of them will be Koscielny, also Cazorla - the experienced players - Cech maybe," Wenger said to Arsenal players.
