Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has declared Alexandre Lacazette club captain for the remainder of the season.

The Gunners have been without a permanent skipper since Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang was stripped of the honour after a third disciplinary breach - and the Gabon striker has since joined Barcelona on a free transfer.

Lacazette has been handed the armband on a number of occasions since and has now been handed the role permanently for the remainder of the campaign, as confirmed by Arteta in his press conference ahead of their trip to Wolves.

The Frenchman himself looks likely to leave the Emirates at the end of the season, but is one of the club's more experienced players aged 30, having made nearly 200 appearances for the team.
