Teenage Sensation Chris Rigg in High Demand
Chris Rigg, the 17-year-old midfielder making waves at Sunderland, has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea. Sources indicate that Sunderland is determined to fend off any potential bids for their budding talent.
Sunderland’s Championship Aspirations
Currently a key player for the Black Cats, Rigg has solidified his place in the starting lineup as Sunderland sits atop the Championship table. His contributions have been vital as the team pushes for promotion this season under manager Regis Le Bris.
Recognition for Rigg’s Talents
Rigg’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, earning him both the EFL Championship Goal of the Month and Young Player of the Month awards for September. With 13 appearances this season and three goals to his name, he is proving to be a crucial asset for the team.

International Experience
Rigg’s talent extends beyond club football; he has made eight appearances for England’s Under-18 team, showcasing his potential on an international stage. His journey began last season, where he scored twice in 21 Championship matches, helping Sunderland to a mid-table finish.
Next Challenge Awaits
Sunderland will face Queens Park Rangers this Saturday, and fans will be eager to see if Rigg can continue his impressive form as the club aims for promotion.
