Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is happy to wear the captain's armband after the sacking of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Lacazette's long-term future is currently uncertain with his contract up next summer though the Frenchman says manager Mikel Arteta will not be short of captaincy options.

"Yes there are a quite a few," he said, assessing the candidate among manager Mikel Arteta's young squad.

"Big Gabi [Gabriel] has got a huge presence and leadership at the back for example. I think when he is more fluent in English that is going to help the team even more. Ben White as well is a leader at the back. He's maybe more quiet but by the way he plays he can be a good leader and I think age that will build up more.

"Also [Albert] Sambi Lokonga but he has already been a captain in the past [at Anderlecht] in the past so that's no surprise.

"Also I think Kieran Tierney has been a captain in the past, maybe for the national team so you can see we have plenty of leaders in the squad."
