Arsenal shot-stopper Aaron Ramsdale has given his vote to Norway midfielder Martin Odegaard as the club's next permanent captain.

The Gunners have to pick a captain this summer, given Alexandre Lacazette is leaving on a free transfer on the expiry of his contract.

Ben White, Thomas Partey and Ramsdale himself are also candidates for the position.

"If you give the armband it can go one of two ways, you either feel the pressure of the team and football club or it gives you a lift that it gives you an opportunity and lead from the front," Ramsdale told Arsenal legend David Seaman on the Seaman Says Podcast.

"As much as in interviews I've joked about Martin, he was at Real Madrid at 16-17, he's seen all the best players in the world, he's the captain of his country and for a 23-year-old, he has literally done everything you can in a short amount of time.

"He's a very calming individual, he might not be the most vocal but you don't always need your captain to be the most vocal because you could have three or four other leaders who are vocal. You could have two or three leaders who are vocal who perform - for him, he's relished at the chance of wearing the armband. I have no problems with him being our captain."
