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.

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.
