Liverpool have officially extended a contract to Keyrol Figueroa, an 18-year-old striker with elite youth-level credentials—90 goals in a single calendar year—and Premier League pedigree in his bloodline. He is the son of Maynor Figueroa, a cult hero best known for his time at Wigan and that unforgettable goal from his own half.
🔴 New Era, New Talent
After lifting the Premier League title under Arne Slot, Liverpool are already planning the future. While some academy players like Dominic Corness, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, and Harry Evers are set to leave, Keyrol Figueroa has been identified as a rising star worth keeping.
💫 About Keyrol Figueroa:
📍 Age: 18
🇺🇸 Nationality: USA youth international
🥅 Goals: 90 at youth level in a single year
📝 Signed first pro contract in 2023
🔜 Set to join the U.S. U20 for matches vs Norway and Colombia in Egypt
🧠 Influences:
Keyrol has shaped his game watching some of the best:
> “I watched Drogba, Aguero, Suarez, and Sturridge—but it was Fernando Torres at Atlético Madrid I tried to emulate.”
💥 Style of Play:
> “I’m strong, powerful with my back to goal, and I can score with both feet and my head. I consider myself a complete finisher.”
Should he sign the extension, Keyrol could be fast-tracked into Liverpool’s senior squad, especially under a new manager known for working with youth.
With his bloodline, goalscoring instinct, and drive to emulate legends, Figueroa could soon be
the next breakout star at Anfield.
