Fabrizio Romano : England U17 captain Chris Rigg has now decided to sign a three year new deal + big financial commitment

After a rough season, Sunderland fans’ optimism has begun to grow.

Sunderland fans were deeply concerned when the club went four months without a permanent manager after finishing 16th in the Championship.

However, things appear to be improving when they hired Regis Le Bris as their new head coach more than a week ago.

There was immediate concern over his demotion with Lorient,

but his development of young players and early success in France wowed many fans.

Sunderland went on to release their very popular Hummel home kit, and Le Bris performed a promising first interview at the club.

Chris Rigg prepares to sign his first professional contract with Sunderland.

Fans may be in for some good news soon, as Chris Rigg is poised to stay at the Stadium of Light.

On X, journalist Fabrizio Romano wrote: “Understand that England U17 captain Chris Rigg

has now decided to sign a three-year contract with Sunderland until 2027.”

“Premier League clubs coveted him, but he’s staying;

Rigg has a new contract and a significant financial commitment. “Big one for #SAFC.”

Rigg is halfway through his two-year scholarship,

but he could have left Wearside if he refused to sign his first professional contract after turning 17.

The’remarkable’ midfielder celebrated his birthday last month,

but it was expected that he would wait for the appointment of a new manager before making his decision.

Rigg has piqued the interest of some of Europe’s greatest clubs, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich particularly keen to sign him.

Sunderland, on the other hand, has received a significant boost, as the teenager has agreed to stay with the club.

The 17-year-old could be the pivot for promotion.

The Black Cats will be anxious to keep a number of their finest assets this summer,

but securing Rigg’s first professional contract is possibly the most essential.

Despite his youth, the 16-year-old became one of the club’s most important players in the second part of the season.

He has the ability to become one of the greatest players in the Premier League and will undeniably be playing for England in years to come.

Rigg can play a vital role in Sunderland’s promotion push this season and will undoubtedly fetch a high fee when he leaves at some stage in the future.

His decision to stay after Le Bris’ arrival should offer fans a lot of hope regarding the French coach,

since Rigg was clearly impressed and persuaded by him to stay at the club after returning for pre-season recently.
