Liverpool youngster Stefan Bajcetic has thanked manager Jurgen Klopp and his staff.

The 18-year-old was the club's Player of the Month for January.

With the Reds struggling for most of that month, Bajcetic was seen by the fans as one bright spot within the team.

"I'm very happy, very pleased and thankful to the fans, to the players and to the staff as well – and obviously to my family and my friends, my girlfriend, they all help a lot," he told Liverpool's official website.

"Since I stepped into the first team they've [the fans] been very supportive to me. I am very happy. I enjoy playing here, this season has been amazing for me – probably the best season ever. Hopefully I can stay here [for] many years.

"It's crazy, if you will tell me two months ago I wouldn't believe it. It's happened – so, I guess I have to believe it," he added after an impressive stint in the squad that saw him score his first goal, during the win over Aston Villa at the end of last year, and pen a new deal.

"I spent pre-season and the whole season [in the senior squad]. So now I'm more confident with the players out of the pitch and in the pitch as well.

"At the moment, I'm in my most confident [period] this season because [I've] been playing now with some games – I feel very confident about [it]. I think I'm showing now what I can do."

He added: "The young, the old players, everyone has been very helpful to me. At the moment, I'm at my most confident because I've been playing games, I feel very confident. I'm sure I can show what I can do.

"Since the start, since pre-season he's been very supportive to me and I'm very thankful for that because as a young player it gives you massive confidence when you see the staff is trying to help you, it makes you feel good," he finished on Klopp.

"Since day one they've been very supportive and I'm very thankful."
