Arsenal defender Holding reveals players voting on captaincy

Arsenal defender Rob Holding has revealed how the players are voting on the captaincy.

Holding says Gunners boss Unai Emery recently had the squad write down names on a piece of paper for him to consider before he made up his mind.

He told Four Four Two: "He likes his five captains.

"We all did a vote the other week so we'll see what happens and see who gets named.

"It was just write names down and then give them to the manager and he will go through them obviously with his input and we'll see what happens.

"I have no idea [when an announcement will be made], but there is a lot of leaders in that team who are helping each other out and pushing each other on.

"Now that we've got these five captains that the manager has brought in it's spreading the leadership group rather than having one person to dictate it.

"You're getting more input, it's generating a good environment."
