Villa boss Dean Smith revealed he had sat down with chief executive Christian Purslow and sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch to discuss transfers last week.
“It was good,” Smith said about the meeting.
“We had a good chat about players we like, positions we want and priorities.
“We have to prioritise. This January window is a narrow window and I’m not sure there’s an awful lot of teams who will let players go who are playing at the moment so it narrows that down even more.”
