Liverpool’s Keyrol Figueroa has had perhaps the most important week of his career yet, as he seeks to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a Premier League regular. “He has seen my potential and he spoke to me and said that I’m good on the ball, I’m a fantastic striker, we’ll have everyone else work for that, and just get yourself in the box and be that lethal, ruthless No.

Those are his core anchors and he tells us all the time that’s what we need before the game.” Page admits that it has been difficult for Figueroa who has had to wait for his chance. “All I can say to that is his reaction has been exemplary.

He’s a great lad and we have got some good boys in there as well.” The influence of his father, Maynor Figueroa As Page mentions, Figueroa is always quick to credit his parents when asked about the influential figures in his life. He has previously described his father, Maynor Figueroa, who won the FA Cup with Wigan and played 181 times for Honduras, as his footballing idol.
