Tottenham Hotspur are front runners for the signatures of 18-year-old Arsenal and Manchester United target Daniel Rigge.
According to a report by ESPN, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United are all keen on having Daniel Rigge in their ranks. The teenage sensation has made quite a name for himself with his impressive performances at the youth level. While all three Premier League giants are interested in the West Ham youth product, Spurs are the ones leading the race at this stage.
Rigge was a part of the Manchester City youth ranks back in the day. After coming up the ranks at the Manchester-based club, the teenager was released and he ended up joining the Hammers in 2022.
Things might not have forked out for him at City but he has managed to get things back on track since joining West Ham. The 18-year-old has established himself as a key part of their youth team. He has 11 goals and nine assists in his 18 outings for the West Ham Under-18s. His impressive performances have resulted in interest from top clubs in the country.
Tottenham are leading the race for Rigge
Rigge penned down his first professional contract in October of last year and his current deal runs until the summer of 2026. Despite that, Tottenham, Arsenal and United are keen on having the homegrown attacking midfielder in their squad.
The Gunners and the Red Devils are always on the lookout for young players with huge potential and they seem to have found one in Rigge. The teenager has shown great promise and both English giants are considering making a move for him.
While both Arsenal and United are very much interested in the West Ham midfielder and have been monitoring him for some time now, Tottenham are the ones leading the race for his signatures. The North London club consider him to be a special player and they do not want to miss out on him.
Despite the competition, Ange Postecoglou’s men are pushing to sign the teenage sensation who has been impressive throughout the season and has potential that suggests he could only get better with time.
