Mikel Arteta has hit back at Tony Adams after the former Arsenal skipper claimed Martin Odegaard should be removed as captain, insisting there is ‘no question’ the Norwegian deserves to wear the armband.
Adams, speaking at an event in Dublin, demanded the Gunners boss make the change ahead of the new season, arguing Declan Rice was the man for the job.
‘You’ve got someone in there who’s going to play every game all season, that’s going to encourage people to come in and lay the foundations of a title-winning team,’ argued Arsenal legend Adams.
