Granit Xhaka is reported to have been named permanent captain of Arsenal, with Unai Emery finally making a decision on who takes over the armband on a full-time basis.
The Gunners had been without a permanent captain since Laurent Koscielny departed for Bordeaux last month, with Xhaka assuming the duty in the interim.
While his on-field performances have come under some scrutiny, his temporary captaincy has helped Arsenal to a strong start to the season, as they sit fourth in the Premier League having secured comfortable wins in their opening Europa League and EFL Cup matches.
