Stefan Bajcetic says leaving Celta Vigo for Liverpool has "paid off".

Bajcetic, who stayed with the squad after featuring in the pre-season tour of Asia, feels such opportunities justify the bold step he took by making the switch from Celta Vigo in February 2021.

"It's paid off, because I learned a lot as well in the Academy," Bajcetic told Liverpoolfc.com. "I think this is the best club for me to develop and I'm happy – I've always been happy.

"It was difficult to leave all my friends, my family and the place I was living for all my life.

"But I love the football here and that's my dream."

On his summer so far, the Spaniard continued: "It's been very good. It's a very good experience for young lads to play in Thailand and Singapore and travel with the team. It's been good.

"Everyone has been good with me. Luckily, I can speak Spanish as well, so I can speak with everyone really.

"Obviously [my family and friends] are very happy and buzzing. They always try to watch the games and if there's something on social media, they try to look at it. I'm very happy."
