Jansson has played five times this season, conceding seven goals

Northampton Town goalkeeper Oscar Jansson says he would like extend his loan spell at the club.

The 19-year-old, who has been standing in for the injured Chris Dunn, is due to return to parent club Tottenham Hotspur on 5 September.

Jansson told BBC Radio Northampton: "As long as I'm playing, I'm happy to stay. But Chris is coming back to make it tougher for me.

"I hope I can play [in the Carling Cup third round], it'd be a great game."

The Sweden Under-21 international helped Northampton secure their spot in the next round as they knocked out Reading 4-2 on penalties following a 3-3 draw at the Madejski Stadium.

Jansson saved Simon Church's opening spot kick while Jake Taylor blasted wide before Abdul Osman put the Cobblers into round three.

"[Goalkeeping coach] Tim Flowers asked me what my strategy was," said Jansson.

"I try to read the shooter. Simon Church looked at one corner first, so I went a bit early and got my hand to it.

"It was absolutely the highlight of my career so far. It was a fantastic game.

"We played so well, came back three times and won on a penalty shoot-out. You can't ask for anything more."

Jansson was on loan at Exeter last season, where his one-month deal was extended for a further two months.
