    The 18-year-old has made starts in the Premier League - also scoring his first goal - FA Cup and Carabao Cup and also made his Champions League debut in 10 appearances.

    Bajcetic, who admits his rapid rise from under-18s football last season to first-team squad has surprised even him, has agreed a new four-year deal.

    Manager Jurgen Klopp praised Bajcetic's progress this season, saying: "There was a door - I'm not even sure it was open - but he ran through it and he was really exceptional."

    The new contract for the Spaniard, who joined in December 2020 from Celta Vigo for £220,000, reflects the club's policy of acquiring and retaining the best available young talent with nine of the last 10 permanent signings aged 25 or under.
