With Manchester City preparing to bid farewell to David Silva, as he approaches the end of his contract, former Blues captain Andy Morrison says Fernandinho is the “standout candidate” to inherit the armband.
The Etihad Stadium saw one talismanic leader head for the exits in the summer of 2019, as Vincent Kompany brought his 11-year association with the club to a close.
Silva, as another long-serving stalwart, inherited skipper duties from the City legend. The World Cup winner will also be severing ties with the reigning Premier League champions, though, at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.
