Arsenal and Tottenham have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for Sunderland star Chris Rigg.

TBR Football reports that Arsenal and Tottenham had scouts in attendance during Sunderland’s 1-1 draw against Millwall on Saturday.

The report suggests that Arsenal and Tottenham attended the match in order to watch 17-year-old Chris Rigg.

Rigg has impressed so far this season with three goals in 15 Championship appearances for a Sunderland team, who are currently second in the league.

The report suggests that Rigg, who has been compared to Roy Keane, could be available for around £20million.

Rigg has previously also been linked with the likes of Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.
