Stefan Bajcetic signs long-term deal with Liverpool

Stefan Bajcetic has signed a new long-term deal with Liverpool, keeping him at the club until 2027.

Bajcetic spoke to liverpoolfc.com and discussed how he is "so, so happy to keep playing for the club".

The 18-year-old also told the club's site that the contract is "something I've been dreaming of in the two years I've been here and something I have been working hard [for] as well".

Liveprool signed the midfielder in December 2020 from Celta Vigo before going on to represent the U18 and U21 sides in the Academy set-up.

The Spaniard made his Premier League debut in Liverpool's 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth at Anfield.

His first senior start came in the Carabao Cup in November vs Derby County, before scoring his first senior goal against Aston Villa.

Giving youngsters long-term deals has become a Jurgen Klopp classic in recent seasons, with the German keen to reward players for their success and hard work.

Liverpool have followed a similar trend with Harvey Elliot, rewarding him each and every step of his development to push him to be the best player he can. Jurgen Klopp will be hopeful Bajcetic follows a similar trend.
