Liverpool’s potential transfer target, Chris Rigg, has made it clear to the Reds what they need to do to secure his signature this summer. The Sunderland wonderkid midfielder, who is just 17 years old, has been turning heads with his performances for the Black Cats. Under former manager Tony Mowbray, Rigg made his debut at the age of 15, helping Sunderland to a dramatic FA Cup turnaround against Shrewsbury.
Since then, Rigg has broken records, becoming Sunderland’s youngest ever outfield player and scoring their youngest ever goal with a powerful header in a win over Southampton. Despite having a potential game-winning goal ruled out for offside against Fulham in the FA Cup, Rigg has established himself as a key player in Sunderland’s starting XI.
With interest from top clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich, Rigg opted to stay at Sunderland this summer due to guarantees of game time. With 32 senior appearances and 4 goals under his belt, Rigg’s focus remains on his development and helping Sunderland return to the Premier League.
Reflecting on his rapid rise, Rigg emphasized the importance of humility and staying grounded. He remains focused on the present and is determined to showcase his abilities this season. With his sights set on reaching the top, Rigg’s ambition and talent make him a promising prospect for any club, including Liverpool.
