Sunderland AFC may not be part of the EPL right now, but what they have in their squad will surely be. Very soon.
Chris Rigg is 16 years old, central midfielder and has already caught the eye of the biggest clubs in England. He is a product of the club’s academy and is also shining in England’s U17 squad.
His strongee foot is the left one. Except of creating chances, Rigg comes often bach, helping the defensive line.He can be hardly beaten in one-on-ones.
In September media reported, that some of the biggest clubs in England are interested in Rigg – such as the both Manchster clubs, Chelsea und surprisingly or not Sunderland’s rivalsNewcasle.
The Magpies seem even to be in leading position for Rigg’s signature, because the player’s family are reported to be Newcastle fans.
For 2023/24 season Rigg has played 7 games in all competitions, scoring 2 goals.
