Tottenham and West Ham Vie for Sunderland’s Chris Rigg in Major Transfer Battle
During the international break, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly tabled a substantial £38 million bid for Sunderland's rising star, Chris Rigg. This move underlines the young midfielder's growing reputation in the football world, as he continues to impress at the Stadium of Light.
However, Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit of the 16-year-old talent. West Ham United have also shown keen interest in Rigg, reportedly ready to engage in a bidding war. The Hammers see Rigg as a potential heir to Declan Rice, who left for Arsenal last summer, and are prepared to offer half the price Tottenham proposed, aiming to secure the youngster for around £19 million.
Chris Rigg, often compared to Jack Grealish for his playing style, has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. His performances for Sunderland have not gone unnoticed, and the upcoming transfer window could see a fierce competition between Tottenham and West Ham to land the promising midfielder.
