Don Goodman believes Aston Villa will already be at an advanced stage in terms of who they will make their priority signing in the summer.
The Villans are on course to qualify for the Champions League group stage in Unai Emery’s first full campaign in charge at Villa Park.
Villa spent big on the likes of Moussa Diaby and Pau Torres last summer, while Youri Tielemans joined as a free agent.
The January window was a little quieter, albeit with an initial £8million spent on the talented but so far underused Morgan Rogers and one-for-the-future Joe Gauci.
While the window may not reopen for another three months, Goodman says Villa chiefs will already be well aware of who they want to sign.
“It’s about contingency planning – all the best clubs do it,” he told Villa News. “They’ll have next season in mind already with their transfer targets.

“That may then change depending on whether they are a Champions League team or Europa League team next season.”
Aston Villa transfer targets should excite supporters
Villa’s transfer business has been spot on under Emery, who has worked wonders during his relatively short time in the West Midlands.
Every signing is made with a plan in place to ensure Villa go from strength to strength, and fair play to the club for backing the Spaniard.
Bringing in players like Torres and Diaby last season amid plenty of competition from elsewhere was considered a massive coup.
Qualifying for the Champions League will only enhance the Villans’ reputation, especially with renowned coach Emery at the helm.
Villa must continue to be smart about their business and not make signings for the sake of it, but rather to strengthen what is already there.
Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but it will be exciting to see exactly what players Villa are linked with should Champions League football be secured.
With Emery and his team at the helm, you can be sure that any big-name arrivals will make an impact in this exciting era for the club.
