ARSENAL star Denilson has rocked the club by insisting Cesc Fabregas is not a good captain.
Brazilian Denilson, preparing for tonight's FA Cup replay at Leeds, said: "Fabregas is the captain but he is not a leader.
"It's a personality thing and a leader can be young. It's something they are born with.
"We are lacking leadership and we need leadership to go forward. There isn't a leader. I don't see one player as a leader.
"At Arsenal it's more of a collective team at the moment, everyone is talking - but a leader is always important for a team."
Midfielder Denilson, 22, also had strong views on Arsenal's goalkeeping situation.
Wojciech Szczesny is set to start tonight in place of the injured Lukasz Fabianski, yet Denilson believes neither is the club's No 1 stopper.
He said: "The best keeper at Arsenal is Manuel Almunia."
But Denilson gave his full backing to manager Arsene Wenger.
The Brazilian added: "His work is amazing and I admire all he has done giving opportunities to young players."
