Kieran Tierney is reportedly in line to replace Hector Bellerin as vice-captain should the Spanish full-back leave Arsenal at the end of the season.
Bellerin, who has spent the past decade with the Gunners, continues to be linked with a move away ahead of the summer transfer window.
Paris Saint-Germain are said to be interested in the 25-year-old, while the defender's former club Barcelona have also been touted as a possible next destination.
football.london suggests that, should Bellerin indeed move on in the next few months, fellow full-back Tierney has been earmarked to take over as vice-skipper.
Scotland international Tierney has become a fans' favourite since joining from Celtic in a £25m deal 18 months ago, making just short of 50 appearances in that time.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is Arsenal's current captain, having taken over the leadership duties from Granit Xhaka in November 2019.
