Arsenal are again looking for a new captain after Alexandre Lacazette's departure following the expiry of his contract.

The Frenchman only donned the armband for several months having assumed it from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was allowed to leave the club in January. Little happened in Lacazette's short lived tenure, other than the Gunners falling out of the top four and missing out on a spot in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta's young side are in need of leadership to steer them and the Spaniard will be needing to appoint a 14th captain of the Premier League era for Arsenal. The Gunners have endured success over the last three decades but they've also faced periods where they've not been competitive.

At times the club has been able to lean on some sensational leaders, whilst on other occasions a lack of senior figures and leadership has been cited as a major chink in their armour. We take a look at the best Arsenal captains of the Premier League days.

It was a toss of a coin for the top spot, but the Invincibles season was a defining moment for the club and the Frenchman was the heartbeat of the team. Fitting that he would score the final goal that season, which sealed a comeback against Leicester City. Vieira was also given the unenviable task of following a club legend when he took on the armband.
