  Szczesny: I should be Arsenal captain

  

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny has added to the turmoil at Arsenal by claiming HE should captain the team.

  The experienced Robin van Persie took over the armband after Cesc Fabregas quit for Barcelona in the summer.

  But Arsenal have lost four times in seven games and boss Arsene Wenger has already conceded they are out of the title race.

  Now Sczczesny, 21, has added fresh controversy to the Gunners’ troubled season by insisting he is the man players listen to.

  He said: “I feel that when I say something, everyone listens to me. More so on the field than in the dressing room, but that’s more important, I think.

  “I want to be captain of the team. I feel I am able to take on that responsibility.”

  Van Persie has cast doubts over his Arsenal future by placing talks over a new contract on hold.

  The Dutchman is into the last two years of his current deal and, should he not sign an extension by the end of this season, will be in an identical situation to that of Samir Nasri before he went to Manchester City.
