Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale has admitted the club is more likely to sell than buy, ahead of the January transfer window.

The Grecians gained promotion to League One last season and are currently 18th in the table.

Tisdale told BBC Spotlight: "I'm sure there will be clubs who are interested in our young players.

"We're not particularly a buying club - we're more of a selling club and I'm not ashamed to say it."

It's a win-win really. We either take the money or we keep the players. Exeter boss Paul Tisdale

Exeter were active in summer transfer window, signing six players and off-loading three others.

Matt Gill and Steve Basham left the club on free transfers and defender Dean Moxey was sold to Derby for an undisclosed fee.

"By definition it's other parties who make the first step when it comes to buying one of our players," he said.

"That doesn't mean we sell for the sake of it, we sell for good money. It's a win-win really. We either take the money or we keep the players."
