C. Rigg is a 19-year-old attacking midfielder at Sunderland, rated 84 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 78th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League and 26th of 994 U-21 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.23 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rigg.

Judged on this season alone, Rigg graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 66th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.232 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 84, top 33% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 19 Rigg is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 80.6 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

1 goal in 18 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.8/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 84, Rigg carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 73 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
