Szczesny denies making Arsenal captaincy claims

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has denied saying he feels he deserves the club captaincy right now.

The 21-year old Pole is reported to have said he wants the armband at the Gunners but he has taken the time to put a few wrongs right by posting on Twitter that he would in fact one day like to be captain and not that he should have the job now.

"I got annoyed with a few things about myself in the media recently so I'm going to set the record straight," Szczesny wrote.

"I never said I deserve the Arsenal armband. I said that I would love to one day take the responsibility of being an Arsenal skipper.

"RVP [Robin van Persie] is doing a great job as a skipper and he fully deserves the armband."
