Reading boss Brian McDermott admits he may have to sell in order to balance the books this summer.

The likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Jimmy Kebe, Shane Long and Adam Federici have all been linked with moves in recent weeks.

And McDermott realises the club may have to sell to help finances.

"I'm sure clubs are looking at our players, I think that is inevitable," he said.

"But it doesn't scare me, in fact I like it. It shows we've been performing well.

"If clubs come in for our players I can't do anything about it and I can't say one way or the other whether players will go.

"If something comes our way we will consider it on its merit. There will be a shortfall in revenue next season and that is always a concern.

"Every player has a price, that's football and that's the league we are in.

"But I knew the situation when I took the job. I went into it with my eyes open and I'm completely upbeat about the future."
