Hector Bellerin believes he possesses the right qualities to wear the captain's armband at Arsenal.
The Spain full back, who joined the club from Barcelona in 2011, has part of Mikel Arteta's leadership team and has stood in on occasions when captain Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has been out of the side.
The Gabon international is moving closer to the exit door at the Emirates, meaning a new skipper will be needed.
Bellerin's dedication at Arsenal has never been in doubt, with reports recently suggesting the defender is playing through the pain barrier and taking painkillers to ensure he has been available.
