Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Crystal Palace boss, Patrick Vieira believes his former club, Arsenal should be looking for a \u2018positive leader\u2019 as their next captain<\/p>\n

He said Arteta should go for a player who will \u2018set an example\u2019 for the rest of the squad after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was relieved of the club\u2019s captaincy duties.<\/p>\n

Aubameyang was accused of disciplinary breach and was omitted from Arsenal matchday squad for their 3-0 victory over Southampton.<\/p>\n

Kieran Tierney, Granit Xhaka, Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White and Alexandre Lacazette are all in contention to take over as Gunnars captain.<\/p>\n

The issue of who becomes Arsenal\u2019s next captain was raised at Vieira\u2019s pre-match press conference ahead of Crystal Palace\u2019s clash with Southampton and the Frenchman outlined what he feels managers should be looking for in a skipper.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think as a manager you always want your captain to be one of the leaders, a positive leader on and off the field,\u201d the Palace head coach told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will want your captain to set the example and, obviously, the captain will always have, I believe, a special relationship with the manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut to have that, you need to be a positive leader.\u201d<\/p>\n
