Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits he needs to find a new club captain as Laurent Koscielny pushes to leave.

Last summer Emery named five players in a captaincy group - Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.

"We spoke a little about this and last year we had Laurent, Petr Cech and Ramsey," said Emery from LA.

"At the moment, Koscielny has a contract with us but I think they are going to speak, the club and him, about whether he continues or not.

"We have players with the capacity [to be captains]. One is Granit. Last year also he played so much as a captain, and was like a captain in the dressing room.

"We also have Mesut and Nacho, and also other players, they can take this position also. I want from three to five captains in the team."
