Strip Martin Odegaard of the Arsenal captaincy, demands their legendary skipper Tony Adams, as he names the replacement needed to have a chance of winning the Premier League title

Arsenal legend Tony Adams has urged manager Mikel Arteta to strip Martin Odegaard of the club's captaincy if they wish to win the Premier League.

Arsenal have played bridesmaid in the title race for the last three seasons, falling short against Manchester City twice, and most recently Liverpool.

Odegaard was made made captain ahead of the 2022-23 season, following the departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. However, he is yet to bring any silverware to the Emirates.

Adams, who famously led Arsenal to four league titles during his own glittering career, has identified the man he believes will drive the north London side over the line in the title race.
