SILVA GETS ARSENAL ARMBAND
Brazil midfielder Gilberto Silva has been officially appointed as the new Arsenal captain.
The 30-year-old succeeds the departed Thierry Henry in the role and was vice captain last season, with him often leading the team as Henry spent much of the campaign on the sidelines through injury.
Experienced defenders William Gallas and Ivory Coast's Kolo Toure have been handed the joint role of vice-captain.
Gallas will lead the side out for Sunday's Premier League opener against Fulham with Silva being absent from the team due to his involvement in the Copa America.
Gilberto, who has been linked with Juventus, has spent five years with the Gunners after joining from Atletico Mineiro. More
