Arseal boss Mikel Arteta may have the players vote for the new captain.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the armband yesterday after his latest disciplinary breach, which has put his future at the club in doubt.
Asked about the prospect of holding a squad vote during the process of appointing a new captain, Arteta was not opposed to the idea, with players possibly choosing their preferred captain from a shortlist of options.
“There are so many different ways to do it," he said. “Sometimes the manager can decide the captain, or can decide the second or third captain, and the group has to defend who is going to represent them in that dressing room.
“They are good [ways] and they can all work if you have the right people.
“I have seen and have participated in both of them, and at the end what is important is not the journey or the destination. The important thing is the company, that's the most important thing."
