Use who as a subject and whom as an obejct.
Can you figure it out for yourself?

In the new English, you can use "who" for both object and subject. You can also use "whom" in this one.

Alan has written a very good explanation at:

(albeit about WHOEVER/WHOMEVER not WHO/WHOM, but the principle is the same)

Actually, only 'who' is correct here.
Please post questions relating to grammar in the Grammar Help forum.
Thank you.
