Chris Rigg is a youngster who I mentioned on the site earlier this year as someone who really impressed me playing for Sunderland at youth level. He's since been promoted to Sunderland's first team and became their youngest debutant at 15 and goal scorer when he scored recently against Southampton in the Championship at 16 years of age. Both United and Newcastle tempted him with offers according to various reports but he was persuaded to stay put by Sunderland. His family are said to be Newcastle fans.
Rigg is a young player who comes across as having the maturity of a more senior player. His touch, technique and composure is absolutely fantastic for a player so young. And I'd say he's on his way to becoming a tempo controlling metronome in midfield with big EPL clubs likely making a move for him before he turns 18.
