They are Thomas Vermaelen, Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Yossi Benayoun, Andrey Arshavin and Chu-Young Park.
Yet the Gunners' new captain, Robin van Persie, does not wear the armband for Holland.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "All I can say is we have, I think we counted, six or seven captains, so they're all big personalities. I will discover who, like you.
"I have some idea but I wouldn't like to prioritise one more than the other."
It was the 8-2 thrashing at the hands of bitter rivals Manchester United which led to accusations Arsenal lacked backbone and characters.
But the recent arrival of Israel skipper Benayoun and South Korean captain Park has changed all that.
Wenger also signed former Werder Bremen skipper Per Mertesacker, who once led Germany for a 45-minute spell, in the August transfer window.
It means the Frenchman now has a wealth of leaders to choose from — with Belgium star Vermaelen, Wales ace Ramsey, Russia's Arshavin and the Czech Republic's Rosicky already among his ranks at the Emirates.
