Tottenham and West Ham Eye Sunderland’s Rising Star Chris Rigg
Amid the bustling transfer market, both Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have set their sights on Sunderland's teenage sensation, Chris Rigg. Reports from Football Fancast and Sunderland Echo indicate that Tottenham has tabled a £38 million bid for the 16-year-old midfielder, highlighting their eagerness to secure the youngster's services.
West Ham, not to be outdone, are also in the race for Rigg, as per Claret and Hugh and Hammers News. The Hammers are reportedly in pole position to sign the Championship star, with talks already underway with Sunderland. The interest from these Premier League giants underscores Rigg's burgeoning reputation and potential impact on the pitch.
Both clubs see Rigg as a significant investment in their future midfield options. Tottenham's offer reflects their strategy to bolster their squad with young, promising talents, while West Ham aims to find a successor to their departed captain, Declan Rice. As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen which club will successfully land the coveted teenager.
