Arsenal manager Unai Emery has included Nacho Monreal in his group of players who will act as captain in the upcoming season.

Emery implemented five players who he decided were going to lead the squad at the beginning of last season: Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.

While Cech has retired and Ramsey has moved to Juventus , Koscielny is unlikely to play for the club again after he refused to travel on the club's pre-season tour of the USA, with the 33-year-old pushing for a move back to his native France.

Xhaka and Ozil will remain as captains and Emery has also clearly seen enough for him to believe his fellow Spaniard Monreal can make the step up.

Nacho Monreal will become one of Arsenal's leaders next season
He also announced he will also choose two more players to complete the group.

Emery said: "We are working now with the captains. They are Xhaka, Ozil and Nacho Monreal. I want to add two more and then I am going to decide the number one, two, three, four and five in the next weeks."

Emery was speaking following Arsenal's disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Lyon in the Emirates Cup, and he also hinted a £72m deal for Lille winger Nicolas Pepe is nearing completion.


He said: "Pepe is a very good player and also we are thinking only of players who can really, really improve this squad and also give us some different conditions to improve.

"The same, we are working for the last few weeks and before starting the season in the first match in Newcastle , our aim is to get the best team with the best players in our squad."

Arsenal will play French side Angers on Wednesday and Barcelona on Sunday ahead of their first game of the Premier League season against Newcastle on August 11.

I feel for arsenal, Wenger really did a hudge damage to this club.
Instead of better and experienced players, he chose inexperienced, children for high purpose.
Jus like Nija jus like arsenal

Arsenal dey 1st for table BUT the way dem go reach relegation eeeh. I dey look ham like Burning candle

Why not monreal?

buy quality players especially defenders

Nice one

Ok

Bet..emery isnt seeing ozil as strong contender for the band??cos makin ozil who has zero leadership quality a captain will be his greatest mistake ever...
Ozil..should be left alone to focus on football alone not adding more burdens for someone who cant handle pressure..
Ozil..that wasnt considerate enough to appreciate arsenal fans after losing a game..despite been instructed by captain mertesacker..

Niger and arsenal.......... i u know u know

Koscielny is the most underrated defender ever. He should have left Arsenal since, he deserves better than Arsenal. In case you want to argue, I am an Arsenal fan

Wenger saved Arsenal, Kroenke is the worst thing that happened to Arsenal.very soon, the Wenger players will all be out of the team and we will see if there will be an improvement or not.

This is the second post Wenger summer, let's see how it goes.

do u know xhaka has great leadership skills in him

Kocieny should not go this road at all.

He should respect this club for better for worst..he has served us dutifully and Gd know we the fans adore and respect him. Whatever his reason he should resolved it with the board amicably. There is life after playing.

The Zidane, ole, lampard, Daglish, giggs. All have coached or given opportunities due to there loyalties to there clubs. Not that they earn it in terms of coaching c.v.

I respect kocieny. Let him keep his head down and finish on with arsenal on a high.
