Tottenham has taken significant steps towards acquiring Chris Rigg, a promising young talent from Sunderland, by making an offer of 45 million euros for the midfielder. Despite being only 17 years old, Rigg has established himself as a key figure at Sunderland, garnering attention from several top English clubs. Tottenham has been increasing its efforts in recent months and aims to secure the deal before other clubs can intervene. The negotiation process is intricate, as Sunderland is aware of Rigg's high value and must decide whether to accept the offer or withstand the pressure. Should the transfer be completed, Rigg would have the chance to further his development within Tottenham's ambitious sports project, as reported by the Spanish portal fichajes.net.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made a £37million offer to Championship outfit Sunderland for teenage star Chris Rigg. The 17-year-old has emerged as a top midfield talent after breaking into Sunderland's first-team squad in January 2023. Tottenham aims to beat out Premier League rivals West Ham for his signing. Spurs have already submitted an offer of €45m (£37m / $48m) to secure Rigg’s services.

Tottenham were reportedly in attendance to watch Chris Rigg at a recent Sunderland game. Spurs and rivals Arsenal were said to be in attendance to watch the 17-year-old Sunderland sensation in the second-placed Championship side’s latest game, as per TBRFootball. Rigg is seen as a big target for Manchester United, amid comparisons to Red Devils legend Roy Keane.
