Liverpool lauded Figueroa as a 'prolific goalscorer' in their official statement. The young talent has not only excelled as a forward but has also demonstrated versatility by playing as a wide attacker.
Figuring prominently in the United States' Under-17 team, Figueroa played a crucial role in their journey to the final of the CONCACAF Under-17 Championship in 2023, where he netted seven goals. He also represented the U.S. in the Under-17 World Cup last year, although the team was eliminated in the round of 16 by Germany.
