Birmingham City are preparing a £10 million bid for Sunderland’s 17-year-old sensation Chris Rigg, aiming to secure the highly-rated midfielder in the January transfer window. Rigg has been with Sunderland since his primary school days and made his debut in January, becoming the second youngest player in the club’s history.
After an impressive 21 appearances last season and a standout performance for England’s U-18s, he has attracted interest from Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United. Birmingham, backed by US chairman Tom Wagner and NFL legend Tom Brady, is ready to challenge the top clubs for Rigg’s signature.
The club, currently leading League One, showcased its financial strength with a £15 million move for Jay Stansfield and several other signings over the summer. Rigg, under contract with Sunderland until 2027, expressed his commitment to developing at the club but may face tempting offers from ambitious suitors.
