According to reports from Everton.news, former Everton manager David Moyes, now at West Ham, is keen on securing the 17-year-old midfielder for his current club. However, Everton is also in the race, hoping to beat Manchester United to the signing of the £25 million-rated wonderkid.
Chris Rigg has been making waves in the Championship with Sunderland, attracting attention from several Premier League clubs. The Guardian reports that West Ham's interest in Rigg is part of a broader strategy by manager Graham Potter to bolster the squad with young, dynamic players. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur has also been linked with Rigg, as per Cartilage Free Captain, indicating a heated competition for his signature.
Sunderland AFC News further revealed that West Ham's interest extends beyond Rigg, with the club eyeing five Sunderland players in total.
