Tony Adams proposes Declan Rice as Arsenal's captain
- Tony Adams believes Declan Rice is the best option for captain of Arsenal.
- Adams emphasizes the importance of a winning mentality in the team.
- Arsenal will start a new season with a match against Manchester United.
Legend Arsenal icon Tony Adams thinks that Declan Rice is a better option for the captaincy role than current captain Martin Ødegaard. Adams asserts that Rice has the winning mentality that the team needs to achieve success in the Premier League.
He noted that Arsenal has recorded several second-place finishes over the last three seasons under the management of Mikel Arteta. Adams believes that naming Rice as captain could allow Ødegaard to play with more freedom.
Adams added that to win titles, it is essential to have a leader who sets an example, and Rice, in his opinion, is such a leader. "You can't win the championship with Ødegaard as captain," Adams added, urging Arteta to take this important step.
Arsenal will kick off the new season at Old Trafford on September 20 with a match against Manchester United.
