Keyrol Figueroa's nine-goal haul for Liverpool's Under-21s has sent a clear message to Arne Slot, but will it be enough to secure a starting spot? The young striker's match-winning performance against Norwich City has certainly caught the eye, but with Liverpool's first team facing Barnsley in the FA Cup, will Slot give him a chance?
Figueroa's brace helped Liverpool come from behind twice to secure a stoppage-time victory over Norwich City on Friday. It was a thrilling comeback, with the young Reds showing their resilience and determination. With Liverpool potentially short on attacking options, Figueroa's performance could be a turning point for his career.
But will Slot give him a chance? The manager has shown a preference for youth and development players in the past, particularly in the FA Cup and League Cup. However, with the first team facing Barnsley, it remains to be seen if Slot will give Figueroa a chance to shine.
Figueroa's performance against Norwich City was a statement of intent, and it will be interesting to see if Slot takes notice. With the Reds potentially short on attacking options, Figueroa's hopes of catching the manager's eye may have just been given a boost. But only time will tell if he'll get his chance to prove himself in the first team.
