Arsenal defender White explains squad stance on Aubameyang

Arsenal defender Ben White says the players miss sacked captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Aubameyang was penalised with a disciplinary breach in December and subsequently dropped from Arsenal's clash with Southampton before being stripped of the captain's armband.

White has revealed how the Arsenal dressing room currently feels about the Gabonese international's situation.

He told talkSPORT: “It hasn't really looked it on the scoresheet. We've been playing well.

“Obviously it's disappointing for Auba but we've all got our heads down and we're working hard.

“He's a really nice guy, we all miss him, but it is what it is."

White then revealed if he wanted to be captain: “I've never done it before, but it would obviously be an absolute honour to be captain. I think I've got some of the qualities to be captain, but we'll see in time."
