Liverpool midfielder has claimed that he’s constantly asked whether he’s jealous of the emergence of Stefan Bajcetic. Bajcetic has taken Morton’s spot as the young midfielder to watch in the Liverpool squad this season. While Morton came through impressively last year, Bajcetic has shone even brighter in 2022/23.
The 20-year-old has grown into his role at promotion-chasing Blackburn Rovers, and is preparing for an FA Cup quarter-final tomorrow. Speaking to in anticipation of Sunday’s game, Morton was asked whether there are any ‘pangs of jealousy’ over what Bajcetic is doing at Anfield.
Granted, the England U21 international hasn’t made quite the impression that young Stefan has.
As a poor loan spell in the lower divisions can be a bit of a death-knell to your Liverpool prospects.
