Arsenal fans appear preoccupied with the Thursday incident where Bosnian Sead Kolasinac and Mesut Ozil were attacked by carjackers in Platts Lane, near Golders Green, at about 17:00 BST and this has sparked a captaincy debate.
Kolasinac fought off two knife-wielding thugs after teammate Mesut Ozil was targeted in a suspected carjacking. The Arsenal duo was traveling in Ozilโs Mercedes SUV when the moped bullies appeared.

The Gunners are much aware that the club is in need of a captain after the transfer decision by their skipper Laurent Koscielny. The Frenchman’s future with Arsenal has been in major doubt ever since he refused to travel on the clubโs pre-season tour of America.
The 33-year-old’s decision angered Emery, who has insisted that he will only work with players who are ready to be at the club.
And now Arsenal fans are calling for the club to hand the captaincy role to Kolasinac after his bravery act;
Make him the captain, @Arsenal! #Kolasinac #AFC https://t.co/GLPXhXLkej

Today, I give all my respect to Sead Kolasinac. My guy! He fully challenged two armed men for รzil! YOU MAD ?!?!
He was ready to fight him. Now that is the kind of friend you need in your corner.
Bro, make him captain. Fucking legend!

Captain is not the player that has the most tricks or talent. Captain is the player who stands up for his teammates and will defend the badge until the last second of the game. Sead Kolasinac became a hero today. However, he has always fought hard for @Arsenal. He is my captain! pic.twitter.com/1FNqisD8YA

Obviously not an Arse fan but if Kolasinac isn’t the AFC captain next year off the back off this then the games gone. Fair play
