Arsenal manager Unai Emery has revealed his five captains for the new Premier League season.
It has been the subject of speculation over the past few weeks, with the new Arsenal boss claiming that he would prefer to have five match captains to share responsibility over having just one man.
Now, as reported by Mirror Sport, Emery has named his five, choosing to keep centre-back Laurent Koscielny as the de facto captain.
Petr Cech will captain the side against Manchester City on Sunday, while Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Özil and Granit Xhaka.
As quoted by Mirror Sport, Emery said:
The first captain in this group is Koscielny. Then I told the players it will be Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.
In my career I want leaders in the team. The representation for every player and in every time in the season the capacity to do that.
For that maybe also they are in the team more leaders to show this capacity. Not only the players in the captain’s group.
These five players are in this possibility to be the captain.
