David Moyes

Everton manager David Moyes has reportedly sent former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam to scout Sunderland’s rising star, Chris Rigg. However, despite their long-standing interest, Everton is unwilling to meet Sunderland’s hefty £40 million valuation for the 17-year-old midfielder. West Ham is also monitoring Rigg but is only prepared to offer around £10 million.

Meanwhile, Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris has dismissed reports of a formal £38 million bid from Tottenham, emphasizing that Rigg remains fully committed to the club. The young midfielder himself recently reiterated his passion for Sunderland, stating that wearing the club’s shirt and giving his all on the pitch is incredibly special to him.
