Jurgen Klopp hails Liverpool teenager Stefan Bajcetic for being an 'absolute joy' to coach... as the Reds boss reveals Thiago Alcantara has taken the rising star 'under his wing' at Anfield

Jurgen Klopp has labelled Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic an 'absolute joy' to coach following the youngster's impressive rise into the first team.

Bajcetic only turned 18 in October, but has forced his way into Liverpool's starting XI in recent weeks and has been a rare bright spark in what has otherwise been a disappointing campaign for the Reds so far.

He scored his first Premier League goal on Boxing Day against Aston Villa and has started each of Liverpool's last three top-flight matches. Klopp has praised the teenager for his performances in a struggling side.
