Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said he wants "stability" from his captain amid continued speculation regarding the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The striker was named as skipper by former manager Unai Emery earlier in the campaign, with the previous incumbent Granit Xhaka stripped of the accolade after he reacted angrily to fans after being substituted.

While Aubameyang has excelled this term and appears to be relishing the extra responsibility that comes with the armband, there have been rumours about a possible transfer for him at the end of the season.
