Liverpool have officially extended a contract to Keyrol Figueroa, an 18-year-old striker with elite youth-level credentialsโ90 goals in a single calendar yearโand 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.
๐ด 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.
๐ซ About Keyrol Figueroa:
๐ Age: 18
๐บ๐ธ Nationality: USA youth international
๐ฅ Goals: 90 at youth level in a single year

With his bloodline, goalscoring instinct, and drive to emulate legends, Figueroa could soon be
