The Black Cats are currently pushing for a return to the Premier League and the midfielder has played a big role in their success this season having featured in 26 league matches, scoring four goals and assisting another.
This has seen Rigg attract a lot of attention with several Premier League clubs attentive to the English talent’s development.
According to CaughtOffside, the Sunderland star could be available for just £25m during the summer transfer window with Liverpool, Arsenal and Man United all taking an interest in the youngster.
The interest doesn’t stop there as the report states that Chelsea, Man City, Brighton, Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are all being viewed as potential suitors for the 17-year-old star as Sunderland are believed to be willing to sell the midfielder for a big fee at the end of the season.
This is a situation Liverpool should pounce on as it is a deal that makes perfect sense for the Merseyside club to get done.
Although Rigg seems like the perfect signing for Liverpool, there is also an argument that the Reds save that money and promote one of their youngsters to the role.
The Sunderland star ticks all the boxes for a Liverpool transfer but it remains to be seen if an official move will be made by the Merseyside club over the coming months.
