Stefan Bajcetic was once hailed as Liverpool's "best player" by Mohamed Salah, yet he's scarcely featured under Arne Slot. His displays even captured Salah's attention, who heaped praise upon the teenager after he claimed Liverpool's Player of the Month award in January 2023.

"He's a great player and person, he always tries to work hard," the Egyptian enthused. "Since he started playing for us, he has been our best player maybe, so hopefully he keeps that confidence and keeps going." Bajcetic subsequently revealed he was delighted by Salah's remarks.

Despite not yet featuring under Slot and the recent setback, Bajcetic can be reassured that he is still in the manager's long-term plans at Anfield. "I hope it will be a big year for him because he's a very talented player and I think he could become a very important player for us," said the Dutchman about Bajcetic before his loan move to Salzburg.
