Ramsey to captain Arsenal? Campbell talks up leadership role for contract rebel

The Wales international is yet to commit to fresh terms with the Gunners but a former striker believes he could be handed the armband under Unai Emery

Aaron Ramsey may be yet to commit his future to Arsenal but the midfielder “ticks a lot of boxes” when it comes to choosing the club’s next captain, claims Kevin Campbell.

The Wales international is about to enter the final year of his contract, placing him in a position similar to that filled by Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere in 2017-18.

The 27-year-old has hinted that he may be ready to put pen to paper, with it his opinion that the appointment of Unai Emery as Arsenal’s new boss has ushered “exciting times” into Emirates Stadium.
