Sunderland's 16-year-old wonderkid 'set to sign new contract despite offer from arch rivals Newcastle and Manchester United interest'

Sunderland's young star Chriss Rigg has reportedly rejected a move to arch rivals Newcastle and Manchester United.

The 16-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Stadium of Light and is seen as one of the brightest talents in the country.

However, according to The Athletic, Rigg is now set to commit his future to Sunderland despite interest from Newcastle and Man United.

Turning 16 just last week, Rigg has already made his debut for the Black Cats in the FA Cup and was free to sign for any club this summer.
