Tottenham Submits £38m Bid for Sunderland Star Chris Rigg
Tottenham Hotspur has reportedly submitted a £38 million bid for Sunderland’s 17-year-old star Chris Rigg. The bid is nearly double Sunderland’s valuation of the player, who has also attracted interest from West Ham United.
Rigg’s Rise to Prominence
Rigg has been impressive for Sunderland, earning him a call-up to the England youth team. His performances have also caught the attention of top clubs, with Tottenham willing to invest heavily in his potential.
Sunderland’s Valuation
Sunderland values Rigg at £20 million, while West Ham hopes to negotiate a deal closer to £10 million. However, Tottenham’s bid of £38 million may be too tempting for Sunderland to resist.
Rigg’s Commitment to Sunderland
Despite the interest from top clubs, Rigg has expressed his love and passion for Sunderland. In a recent Q&A session, he stated that playing for Sunderland is “very special” for him, and he is trying to take every opportunity that comes his way.
Manager Régis Le Bris’ Comments
Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris has spoken about Rigg’s recent dip in form, saying that it is normal for a young player in his first season of regular senior football. Le Bris has assured Rigg that the club will manage him carefully to help him recover and find his best level again.
