Aston Villa are currently preparing for their biggest game in many a year - but this seemingly hasn't stopped the club from preparing for next season already.

Reports from Football Insider claim that the Villans have submitted a £7.5million bid for Luton Town defender James Justin, with Dean Smith keen to sign the defender regardless of which division they find themselves in next term.

The versatile full-back has endured a hugely impressive season with the Hatters, playing an integral role in helping the Hatters win the Sky Bet League One title.

The 21-year-old homegrown star has made over 110 appearances for the Bedfordshire club, and was named in the League One Team of the Season after a string of impressive displays this campaign.

The addition of Justin would be a very welcomed one at Villa Park, with Alan Hutton and Ahmed Elmohamady both approaching the latter stages of their playing career.
