  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Rigge came up through the ranks at the Manchester City Academy, however, he was let go by the Citizens in 2022 and signed his first professional contract with West Ham. He still has two years left on his contract with the Hammers and the Gunners and Spurs will have to negotiate to sign the youngster.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Rigge has scored 11 goals and garnered 9 assists in 18 games so far for the U18 side. With the midfielder turning 18 last month, he could very well make the jump to the senior team if he stays put with Hammers for next season.
