Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva has made it clear who he wants to see appointed the next Gunners captain. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed there will be a thorough process this summer to decide who will wear the armband going forward. Alexandre Lacazette has currently taken on the responsibility following the exit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January.

On Wednesday, Gilberto responded to a tweet asking who should be the next Gunners skipper.
The Brazilian singled out Tierney, writing: "This is a really interesting question. I feel like there are a lot of natural leaders in our team. KT (Tierney) is definitely one of them."
The two-time Premier League winner was beating the Tierney drum again on Thursday.
Ahead of the visit of Wolves, Arsenal tweeted an interview with Tierney from their official club website and tagged the Scotland international in the tweet.
