Arsenal defender Rob Holding thinks Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will do a great job as Arsenal captain as well as showing support for former skipper Granit Xhaka, who handed the armband several weeks into the season following a player vote.

On the captaincy, Holding said: “Pierre’s great in the dressing room. He’s such a happy character so everyone is positive around him.

“He knows how to lift people and he leads by example on the pitch. Having someone like that up front, scoring goals for you always make things easier.

“I’ve never had any problems with Granit and none of the players have ever had any problems with him.

“He’s a great lad to have around the changing rooms and I just think what happened with him was between him and the fans and that is nothing to do with me. I just know I can support the team and support Granit.”

Holding also backed his side that they are not at ‘crisis point’ and is confident they can turn their fortunes around. Arsenal are enduring a tough start to 2019/20 campaign as Unai Emery & Co. are failing to live up to the expectations lately having slipped from third to sixth, but the English man insists it is not time to panic.

“We just need to string a couple of wins together and I think that will lift the confidence again and hopefully set us off on a run,” the Arsenal defender told Sky Sports News.

“We just need to stay calm and stay positive. We’re sixth, we’re not a million miles off it.

“We’re going into a busy Christmas period now where there’s going to be three Premier League games a week.

“We’re eight points off the top four but if we have three wins in a week we’re back up within touching distance so it’s not crisis point by any stretch of the imagination. We need to keep calm, keep positive and keep working on what we need to improve on.”
