Tony Adams criticizes Mikel Arteta, doubts Odegaard as Arsenal captain.

Arsenal Legend Urges Manager to Change Captain for Title Success

Arsenal legend Tony Adams has advised manager Mikel Arteta to remove Martin Odegaard as the club's captain if they aim to win the Premier League. Arsenal has been a runner-up in the title race for the past three seasons, falling short against Manchester City twice and Liverpool most recently.

Odegaard became captain before the 2022-23 season after the departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. However, the team has not won any trophies under his leadership. Adams, a former Arsenal captain, believes England's Declan Rice is the right choice to lead the team to victory.

Adams suggested that Arteta should make Rice the captain to allow Odegaard to play more freely. He emphasized the importance of having a captain who reflects the manager's vision and can elevate the team's performance to the next level.

According to Adams, Arsenal cannot win the title with Odegaard as captain. He highlighted the need for a leader like Rice, who possesses the qualities required to guide the team to success. Adams urged Arteta to make the necessary change to enhance Arsenal's chances of winning the league.
