Spurs keeper Brad Friedel claims Scott Parker would be the perfect England captain for this summer's Euro 2012 finals.
Fabio Capello has a problem with the armband following the John Terry row and he needs to find a new skipper going into the summer's finals.
There are other contenders for the role with Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart and Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard both tipped to take the role but Friedel think Parker is the man for the job.
"Joe Hart has the mentality to be a captain, but you've also got with England two ready-made captains in Steven Gerrard and Scotty Parker," he told the Daily Mail.
"Could Joe do the job? Absolutely. Joe is a magnificent goalkeeper with a great head on his shoulders. But you have got Scott Parker and Steven Gerrard that are tremendous players.
"Playing with Scotty for the last six months or so you can see, whether he has the captain's armband or not, he is going to be a captain.
"He is a top pro around the club, he lives his life right, and on the pitch he covers in front of the back four the best that I have played with.
"When the right or left-back go forward, he is always looking at the gaps that he can cover and the amount of metres he covers in games are immense."
