Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has admitted that he was so desperate to be a captain when he was growing up that he used to buy armbands for himself to wear!
The prolific forward will lead us out as our club captain on Saturday for the first time, and says it will be a hugely proud moment for him and his family.
"Arsenal has a great history of wonderful captains like Patrick Vieira and Tony Adams," Aubameyang told the official matchday programme. "It is a privilege to follow in their footsteps and I will honour the armband by doing my very best on and off the pitch.
