Aaron Ramsey eyeing Arsenal captaincy

Aaron Ramsey has admitted that he harbours hopes of one day captaining Arsenal.

The 24-year-old midfielder was given the armband in the Gunners' recent friendly victory over Boreham Wood.

Having spent seven years in North London, Ramsey now believes that he is in a position to skipper his side after gaining experience in the role with national side Wales in the past.

"I've made a load of appearances now, I definitely feel one of the leaders, but I feel this group of players all have their own leadership skills," he told ESPN.

"It was nice to be given the armband, even though it was just a pre-season friendly, but it's something I would like to do one day, to be captain.

"It's a great honour and achievement to do that, I've had experience of doing it with my country, it would be nice to do that [for Arsenal] one day."

Ramsey joined Arsenal from Cardiff City in 2008 for a fee in the region of £5m.
