Arsenal manager Unai Emery has assured Rob Holding that he has a bright future at the club, despite not making him part of his five-man club captaincy group that was finally decided last week.
The Gunners had been without a permanent captain since Laurent Koscielny's departure in the summer, but the players voted to hand Granit Xhaka the armband moving forward, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Hector Bellerin and Mesut Ozil listed as the rest of the leadership group.
