    Keyrol Figueroa
    Position: Forward
    Birthplace: Tegucigalpa, Honduras
    DOB: 31, August, 2006
    Position: Forward


    We didn't really have any evidence that he had become a US citizen before, but he was just called in for the US U17s:

    Liverpool forward Keyrol Figueroa Norales is the lone player making his first U-17 MYNT appearance this cycle.

    His father is Honduran legend Maynor Figureoa, with 182 caps, so could be a tough battle going forward. Maynor was in the US as a player from 2015 to 2021, but reports said he got his Green Card in 2020, so it seemed a stretch that Keyrol had one before then. But his mom was a NT handball player and may have had the Green Card instead (which still brings up the question of why Maynor wasn't on a GC during that time).

    Mom's old tweet answers a lot of questions:



    Still not sure why Dad waited so long to get his Green Card, but hey...

    The Honduras fed confirmed in a statement yesterday that he has all three passports. The US U17s already invited him to the UEFA Development Tournament in May but he was not released.

    Full-time: Wolves 4-3 Liverpool U18

    A late #LFCU18 fight-back couldn’t amount to an equaliser as Keyrol Figueroa and Elijah John both scored first goals of the season alongside under-sixteen player, Carter Pinnington. Liverpool’s U18 Premier League Cup campaign is over.

    Hope to see him do well. Felt like 2-4yrs ago we had so many yanks academy guys in the pipeline to get excited for.

    Always admired his dad as a competitor who seemed to give it his all on the field.
