Keyrol Figueroa has a new deal…
The 17-year-old Honduran soccer player and United States youth international has signed a professional contract with Liverpool F.C., the Premier League club announced Tuesday.
Figueroa, a forward, has been impressive since moving to the Merseyside club when he was 14 and has consistently scored at different age levels.
Liverpool described him in a statement as a “prolific goalscorer.”
Figueroa, who can also play as a wide attacker, scored seven goals to help the United States reach the final of the CONCACAF Under-17 Championship in 2023.
He played in last year’s Under-17 World Cup, where the U.S. was eliminated in the round of 16 by Germany.
Having advanced through Liverpool’s academy, Figueroa recently scored for the Under-18s team against Wolverhampton.
Figueroa is the son of former Wigan and Honduras defender Maynor Figueroa.
