Stefan Bajcetic is impressing at Liverpool with coaches believing that he is ahead of his expected development at Anfield.

Liverpool are going through a very difficult period right now with the 4-1 defeat at Napoli leaving many worried about this season.

Jurgen Klopp needs to find some answers but it’s hard to solve a problem like Liverpool’s midfield right now.

Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are either injured or underwhelming, Thiago isn’t back yet and James Milner is sadly starting to look like a player who turns 37 in January.

Liverpool need a beacon of light in midfield and whilst that could be Jude Bellingham next year, the Reds do already have a young talent of their own.

Stefan Bajcetic is impressing at Liverpool

Liverpool pounced back in January 2021 to complete a deal for Celta Vigo youth star Stefan Bajcetic.

Bajcetic was born in Vigo with father Srdjan Bajcetic a former Celta player and scout who now manages a lower league team in Vigo.

The 17-year-old was seemingly a very rushed signing as Liverpool looked to secure Bajcetic before post-Brexit rules really kicked in.

Bajcetic – who can play for Spain or Serbia at international level moving forward – has made a real impression in just over 18 months at the club.

Bajcetic has not only played Under-18 and Under-21 football for Liverpool but has now been around the first team too.

The teenager picked up a Premier League debut against Bournemouth last month and was even on the bench against Napoli.

Jurgen Klopp appears to really like Bajcetic, whose versatility to play at centre back, right back and in holding midfield is very useful.

The Liverpool Echo now claim that Liverpool coaches have been blown away by Bajcetci’s growth and development, believing that he is ultimately ahead of the curve right now.

Liverpool don’t want to rush Bajcetic into major first-team action; he doesn’t turn 18 until next month after all.

Yet Liverpool seemingly believe that they have a real star on their hands and if Liverpool’s senior midfielders can’t get the job done, don’t be surprised if Bajcetic is knocking on the door for first-team action.
