Southampton boss Alan Pardew has extended the loan of Reading winger Michail Antonio until January.

Antonio joined the Saints at the start of October on an initial month-long deal and he has made four substitute appearances in League One.

Pardew has opted to keep the 19-year-old for the maximum three-month period and Antonio will now stay at St Mary's until the New Year.

He has also been given permission to play for Southampton in the FA Cup and will be available for Friday's first-round tie against Bristol Rovers.

The promising wide man has made two substitute appearances for Reading's first team to date and had a spell on loan at Cheltenham Town last season.
