Liverpool have made a contract offer to 18-year-old striker Keyrol Figueroa, a prolific youth talent who netted an astounding 90 goals in a single year. He also comes with notable football heritage—he’s the son of Maynor Figueroa, a fan favorite remembered for his time at Wigan and his incredible goal from his own half.
A New Chapter at Anfield
Following their Premier League triumph under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool are turning their attention to the next generation. While several academy players—Dominic Corness, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, and Harry Evers—prepare to move on, the club sees real promise in Keyrol Figueroa and is eager to secure his future.
Quick Facts on Keyrol Figueroa:
- Age: 18
- Nationality: U.S. youth international
- Youth Career: Scored 90 goals in a single calendar year
- Pro Debut: Signed first professional deal in 2023
- Upcoming Matches: Set to represent the U.S. U20s against Norway and Colombia in Egypt
Inspirations:
Figueroa credits his development to watching greats:
“I looked up to Drogba, Aguero, Suarez, and Sturridge—but it was Fernando Torres at Atlético Madrid who I really tried to model myself after.”
Playing Style:
“I’m a strong, physical forward who can play with my back to goal. I’m comfortable finishing with either foot or my head—I’d call myself a complete striker.”
If he agrees to the new deal, Figueroa could soon be integrated into Liverpool’s first team, especially with a coach known for promoting young talent. With natural talent, a footballing pedigree, and a hunger to follow in legendary footsteps, Figueroa might just be Liverpool’s next breakout star
