Jurgen Klopp praises Stefan Bajcetic as Liverpool star takes youngster under his wing

Jurgen Klopp declared Stefan Bajcetic is "a joy to work with" as he opened up on his unique friendship with fellow Liverpool midfielder Thiago.

Bajcetic, 18, has been the breakout star of the season at Anfield and has been a bright spark even when those around him have been plagued by injuries and poor form. The teenager made his senior debut last August and has racked up a further 12 appearances for the Reds, earning a long-term contract extension in January.

Despite his youth, Bajcetic has started three consecutive Premier League games for Liverpool and most recently caught the eye in Monday's 2-0 victory over Everton. Football is in the Spanish-born midfielder's blood, as his Serbian father represented the likes of Celta Vigo, Braga and Red Star Belgrade during his own professional career.
