Championship side Hull City look set to have a busy summer with owner Acun Ilicali and manager Shota Arveladze wanting to put their own stamp on the Tigers during what will be their first full window at the club.
After remaining afloat in the second tier, they should have the room to spend a considerable amount on players this summer as they look to transform themselves from an average side in their current division to promotion chasers.
Already taking big steps to shake up their squad, they are planning to release captain Richie Smallwood, the experienced Tom Huddlestone and forward Tom Eaves on the expiration of their respective contracts this summer.
They will need to replace the trio, with more leaders potentially needing to be recruited in the coming months following the announcement of Smallwood's departure.
Other steps need to be taken if the second-tier outfit want to have a productive window though - and here are seven objectives that should be achieved.
21-year-old Keane Lewis-Potter is likely to be the subject of interest from Premier League sides throughout the summer window after recording 12 goals and four assists in the second tier during the 2021/22 campaign.
Also performing admirably during their promotion-winning season in 2020/21, it's no surprise that the likes of Brentford, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have all been credited with an interest in the England youth international.
The latter were even reported to be in talks with the Tigers regarding his services - and this may be their only chance to maximise his price tag with his contract effectively expiring in the summer of 2024 considering the extension option they have.
If they don't manage to tie him down to a new deal, it may be time to cash in to avoid losing him for less in the next year or two.
If they do decide to sell him, they should be looking to secure a respectable sell-on percentage, allowing them to profit from Lewis-Potter's progress even after he departs the MKM Stadium.
This will be particularly important if he departs to a club like Brentford - because he may move on to an even more prestigious club after that if he continues progressing and in the end - that money could make all the difference for the second-tier side in the future.
It may help them to abide by the EFL's profitability and sustainability rules and/or allow them to spend more in the transfer market, so inserting this clause into any agreement for the 21-year-old is a must.
Although Matt Ingram has returned to the MKM Stadium, with the club taking up a one-year option on his deal this week, they will need another shot-stopper to come in and either challenge the 28-year-old for a starting spot or come in as number one.
Nathan Baxter has shown more than enough to be considered as a potential permanent option in the coming months and with parent side Chelsea unlikely to utilise him next season, that could allow them to strike a permanent agreement for his services.
Getting him tied down for the long term will allow the Tigers to potentially sell him on for more in the future, though they will be hoping to keep hold of him for quite a few years if he continues to impress.
The complications surrounding Roman Abramovich's sanctions and the Blues' takeover saga may cause complications though, so they may need to be patient in their potential quest to get a deal over the line.
Although previous Manchester United loanee Di'Shon Bernard was one of the first names on the teamsheet under Grant McCann, he fell out of favour under successor Arveladze and with this, it would be difficult to see the Tigers pushing hard for a longer-term deal.
If they are to stick with a back three though, they need as many options in central defence as possible to provide them with adequate cover and this is why a replacement for Bernard will be required.
Jacob Greaves' future is also uncertain amid interest from elsewhere so they should definitely have a shortlist of defensive targets to pursue, with plenty of options already available in the free-agent market.
They don't have to spend a huge amount to recruit a good replacement for the United loanee and considering they probably spent next to nothing on loanee Bernard, another cheap option may be preferred.
In fairness to Hull, their decision to trigger an extension on Mallik Wilks' contract was probably a good financial decision because it will allow them to generate a fee for his services in the coming months.
There is the chance they won't receive any offers despite interest from Birmingham City and Peterborough United, but considering their lack of attacking options currently, that probably wouldn't be the biggest disaster.
Some would argue that extending his contract is a waste of a wage if he's surplus to requirements at the MKM Stadium - but it's a risk worth taking and in the end - the fee generated for him may allow them to bring in an extra player that could make all the difference.
Securing a fee over keeping him would be ideal though - because it's not as if he's been a regular under Arveladze during the Georgian's time in East Yorkshire.
Allahyar has made a good impression since his temporary arrival from Fenerbahce and although he has only scored once in 12 appearances for the second-tier outfit, he brings a lot more to the Tigers than that statistic suggests.
In fact, they should be looking to make this deal permanent on the condition he doesn't take up a huge chunk of their transfer budget, because they need additions in the forward area and the Iranian has shown himself to be a solid player at this level.
According to Hull Live reporter Baz Cooper, a longer-term agreement is already in place and they should be looking to finalise this deal quickly to provide the 20-year-old with certainty.
Considering his age, he's only likely to improve and with his first taste of English football under his belt now, he should be looking to thrive next season. Getting in and amongst the goals will be important if he is to provide value for money though - because just being a physical and technical presence up top won't be enough.
Forss' loan spell hasn't exactly worked out for the best and that's a shame considering how promising this signing looked at the time of his arrival in late January.
In fairness to the Finnish striker, he hasn't exactly had the opportunity to impress considering a decent chunk of his appearances came from the bench and with this, it may be fair to give him another chance to shine at the MKM Stadium next term.
If they don't pursue a further loan or permanent move for the 22-year-old, they need to be looking to bring in another forward or two with Eaves departing on the expiration of his contract.
Having a sufficient number of forward options may also give Arveladze the chance to play two up front regularly, so this is an important issue they need to address.
