Andrew Robertson has praised Stefan Bajcetic after the teenager scored a superb goal for Liverpool against Aston Villa.
The Reds were 2-1 up at Villa Park and hoping to see out the game when Jurgen Klopp threw on Bajcetic in the 79th minute.
The teenager had barely been on the pitch two minutes when he calmly rounded Robin Olsen and fired Liverpool into a 3-1 lead.
That was just a second Premier League appearance for Bajcetic and yet he showed his quality in a quite incredible way.
Bajcetic, 18, has emerged as one of the top talents in the Liverpool ranks and Klopp appears to be a huge fan.
Whilst capable of playing as a centre back, Bajcetic is emerging into the Liverpool first-team picture as a holding midfielder.
That may just tempt Liverpool into dodging a move for Sofyan Amrabat and trusting Bajcetic to become Fabinho’s main understudy.
Andrew Robertson has praised Liverpool teenager Stefan Bajcetic
It’s still early days for Bajcetic but the praise has been flooding in over recent days.
Liverpool left back Andrew Robertson has now joined in having raved about the young Spanish talent.
Robertson has told Liverpool’s official website that he thinks Bajcetic is a ‘fantastic player’ at such a young age.
The Scot added that Bajcetic has a ‘huge future’ ahead of him, believing that he has so much potential in his locker.
Robertson even called Bajcetic’s display against Villa ‘unbelievable’, hyping up the teenager to a huge degree.
“He’s a fantastic player,” said Robertson. “He’s got a huge future ahead of him, lots of potential. He was unbelievable,” he added.
Klopp would probably want to calm the hype over Bajcetic just to make sure that too much pressure isn’t placed on him.
Yet when the signs are so good and he makes a huge impact at a critical time in a Premier League match, it’s hard not to get excited.
