Everton Eye Double Deal for Sunderland’s Midfield Duo, Including Chris Rigg

Everton are reportedly setting their sights on a double swoop from Sunderland, targeting the young talents Chris Rigg and Jobe Bellingham. The Toffees are said to be keen on bolstering their midfield options, with Rigg, a 16-year-old prodigy, and Bellingham, the 18-year-old brother of England star Jude Bellingham, on their radar.

According to Football Fancast, Everton see Rigg as their 'new Barkley', drawing comparisons to their former star Ross Barkley due to his dynamic style of play. The interest in the duo comes amidst competition from other top clubs, including Manchester United, Tottenham, and AS Roma, all of whom have been linked with the promising Sunderland midfielders.

The BBC has reported that Rigg, who has already made his mark in Sunderland's first team, is attracting significant attention due to his performances. Meanwhile, Cartilage Free Captain notes that Tottenham are also in the race for Rigg, highlighting the intense competition for his signature.

As the transfer window approaches, the battle for these young talents is set to intensify, with Everton hoping to secure a deal that could shape their future midfield for years to come.
