Carlton Palmer believes United will need to pay over £25 million if they want to secure a deal for Sunderland’s rising star, Chris Rigg. The midfielder has been turning heads with his performances in the early stages of the current season, making him a target for top Premier League clubs.
Rigg, born in Hebburn and a product of Sunderland’s academy, has been making a name for himself since his debut over a year ago. Despite only being 17, he has already shown his quality on the field with impressive performances and crucial goals.
With interest from clubs like Manchester United and Newcastle United, Rigg’s potential is clear to see. Palmer suggests that a hefty bid would be needed to lure him away from Sunderland, as his value is only set to increase as he continues to shine.
While a move to a bigger club may be tempting, Rigg must carefully consider his next steps to ensure he continues to develop and grow as a player. With Sunderland proving to be a strong foundation for his career so far, staying put for now could be the best decision for his future success.
