Part I of Goal.com UK’s Arsenal's summer signings fan poll. For the full series and all the teams covered, visit the Premier League summer signings page.

By Richard Parry

Having finished in the top four of the Premier League once again, Arsenal have secured their place in next season's Champions League.

The Emirates outfit will be looking to mount a serious assault both domestically, and in Europe, but this summer, perhaps more than most, Wenger needs to continue strengthening his squad. Having already completed a handful of additions, he'll need to add further if the Gunners are to claim either the Premier League title, or European Cup.

Goal.com UK wants to know which area of the Arsenal team YOU feel needs to be improved during the summer, as we start our hunt for the fans' star signing.


WENGER'S AREAS OF INTEREST


COACH CARD

4-2-3-1

Continental
Goalkeeper: An area which Wenger needs to address. Manuel Almunia has failed to become the top class ‘keeper the club had hoped he would. Arsenal do have some promising young stoppers, but Lukasz Fabianski’s exploits against Porto in the Champions League last season showed they are not yet ready to step-up. Heavily linked with Fulham's Mark Schwarzer.

Defence: Laurent Koscielny has signed from FC Lorient, but with Wenger admitting that William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre are likely to leave this summer, with Philippe Senderos having already joined Fulham, and with veteran Sol Campbell's future up in the air, Arsenal have been linked with Everton's Phil Jagielka.

Midfield: With the future of Cesc Fabregas still uncertain, Wenger will have already been considering a replacement for his captain. Either way, Arsenal could do with an extra ball-winner in their ranks.

Strikers: Marouane Chamakh has been brought in from Bordeaux on a free transfer, and the Moroccan will prove to be a good signing for the club. With Eduardo rumoured to be on his way out of the Emirates, Wenger could look to add further bodies, although Jay Simpson could yet feature more heavily for the senior side.
