Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow believes the club is ready for the summer transfer window.
After narrowly avoiding relegation in the 2019-2020 season, Villa finished in 11th position in the Premier League this time around.
While Villa are unlikely to make a huge raft of signings, Purslow believes they are identifying the right players to improve Dean Smith's team.
Purslow told VillaTV: "We talk so frequently, all through the season. We have extremely precise plans for the summer window.
"It won't surprise anyone to learn we remain deeply ambitious. Our five-year plan is to consistently improve and to consistently improve you have to keep improving the quality of both your starting XI and your squad. We have plans to do both this summer.
"We are at a point where after two highly active summers, it will be a smaller number of ins. I would expect players who came in last year to continue to improve. With a couple of smart signings to make us even stronger we are highly optimistic looking to next season."
