McGinn looks to Wolves example
Scotland midfielder John McGinn says he and his Aston Villa team-mates need to be realistic about what they can achieve next season in the Premier League.
The Villans secured a top-flight return by defeating Derby County 2-1 in the Championship play-off final, with McGinn looking to the example of Wolves of how progress can be maintained if things go well.
I think we need to be realistic, but have some ambitions to make an impact.

He told the Express & Star: "I think I know and everyone knows in the squad that they need to up their game to go and prove that we can be Premier League players.
"I think we need to be realistic, but have some ambitions to make an impact.
"We're hoping to emulate Wolves and what they managed to do. But then, at the same time, we need to be realistic and know how difficult the jump up is."
Villa are available at 4/1 to finish in the top half of the Premier League table next season, while they are 9/4 to be relegated and 4/11 to escape the drop.
The Midlanders recently made their first summer signing by snapping up Spanish forward Jota on a two-year contract from neighbours Birmingham City.
The 27-year-old, who played under Villa boss Dean Smith when the dup were at Brentford, scored eight goals in 75 appearances during two seasons with the Blues.
"Becoming a Premier League player was important for me and something I've been looking for," Jota told his new club's official website.
