Stefan Bajcetic is delighted after signing a new contract with Liverpool.

The 18-year-old hit another significant milestone in this breakthrough season of his by signing a new long-term contract with the club at the AXA Training Centre on Thursday afternoon.

Bajcetic, who joined the Reds' Academy set-up from Celta Vigo in December 2020, has made 10 first-team appearances so far this campaign – even getting on the scoresheet with a lovely finish at Aston Villa on Boxing Day.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "Obviously I'm so, so happy, so excited to keep playing for this club and hopefully I can play more years together. Me and my family are very proud to sign a new contract with this club.

"It's crazy. A year ago I was playing U18s football and now I've started some games, made my debut and even scored a goal – that was something I never expected to happen this year. It's amazing to see how fast it went. But I keep working hard and hopefully [there are] more things to come."

Bajcetic also spoke of how Thiago Alcantara has taken him under his wing. Bajcetic's father played against Thiago's Dad in LaLiga.

He revealed: "To be fair, it's a crazy story because I also played in a very, very little academy back in Vigo, the city where I was born – we played in the same little academy.

"When I told him I played in this academy, he was like, 'Wow!' It's unbelievable, this story. I think my dad hasn't talked with his dad but it's crazy to think about how small that town was and look at where we are now."
