3) Per Mertesacker
A superb defender and strong leader at the back, Per Mertesacker may be the most obvious choice to be the next Arsenal captain.
However, at 29 years of age it remains to be seen how many years he still has at the very top level, especially considering he is already hardly the paciest defender in the world.
As natural a choice as he seems, Arsenal don’t want to be changing their captain again in three or four years’ time, but it remains to be seen if Wenger will share that view.
