Arsenal head coach Unai Emery suggested Mesut Ozil could be among a number of different players he uses as captain.
With Per Mertesacker moving into a coaching position at the club, Arsenal are yet to name the defender's successor as skipper.
During his time at Sevilla, Emery used various players in the role and the Spaniard previously said he wants "five captains" at Arsenal.
Ozil wore the armband in Saturday's 5-1 defeat of Emery's former club Paris Saint-Germain on the playmaker's return to action following the World Cup and his announcement he will no longer play for Germany.
