Aston Villa's summer plans are going to be of serious interest this time around as it's hard to see exactly what is going to happen.

The Villans have quickly become one of the headline acts of this summer's action so far and not for reasons their fans will like.

Whilst Leeds and Forest are catching the eye with their ambition, Villa are grabbing attention for their financial woes.

If they can only sign a few players this summer, though, they need to make sure one of them is Massimo Luongo from QPR:

The R's themselves aren't exactly flush with cash at the moment and might find it hard to keep hold of their star Australian.

With Villa potentially looking to cash in on some of their marquee names, meanwhile, they will at least have some cash for playing staff - though some of it will go to other facets of running the club.

Luongo is a player who wouldn't break the bank but would bring real Championship quality.

He gets on the ball and drives forwards whilst he is a fierce competitor without it and with Villa's midfield ageing, they are going to need more than that.

Villa might not be able to sign many players this summer - that remains up for debate - but if they can sign Luongo they might not need much else.
