For the past three days, Goal.com UK has been asking you to voice your opinions on how Arsene Wenger should look to improve his Arsenal squad this summer, and with the votes in, here are the results.

MORE...
61.23 per cent wanted Wenger to sign a new goalkeeper, with a further 29.44 per cent hoping to see acquisitions in the defence before the start of the new Premier League season. Only 1.09 per cent of you were happy with the way things are, while 3.49 per cent wanted to see changes in the forward line.

46.63 per cent chose Joe Hart as the man Arsenal should do their utmost to sign, with the majority wanting to see the England goalkeeper between the sticks at the Emirates Stadium. Hart finished ahead of France's No.1 Hugo Lloris and Slovenian international Samir Handanovic, who received 30.83 per cent and 22.54 per cent of the vote respectively.

2 players that featured in some interesting suggestions for additional signings were Fulham’s Mark Schwarzer, who Goal.com UK had earlier revealed was been mooted by Wenger for a player/coach position at the club, while Fiorentina stopper Sebastien Frey was another goalkeeper many of you wanted to see at the Emirates.

Nonetheless, the majority wins in this game, and by popular demand, here is the Arsenal starting line-up for next season, as chosen by YOU, the fans...


YOUR SELECTION


The new man replaces current No.1 Manuel Almunia, as you feel that the Spaniard is not of the standard required. Despite your positive feelings towards young goalkeepers Lukasz Fabianski, Vito Mannone and Wojciech Szczesny, you concede that neither of them is ready to overhaul Almunia as the club's first-choice stopper, and have called on the services of Manchester City's Hart.
