At a tender age of 16, the Sunderland starlet, Chris Rigg, has etched his name as a dependable right-winger with flashes of brilliance within the Championship League. Despite his young age, he showcases an impressive ball retention skill, outperforming 93.5% of his peers. This, coupled with his progressive passing credentials (ranked in the top 92.2 percentile), defines Rigg as a linchpin who brings creativity and deft mobility into Sunderland's attack. His high goal threat ability (84.4 percentile) also makes him a substantial force to reckon with in front of the goal.
However, Rigg's rawness also surfaces in areas of weaknesses. His relative low percentile in ball recovery (33.8%) and chance creation (31.2%) points to a lack of defensive impetus and the need to involve more in the final third creation. His lowly successful crosses per 90 rate of 2.6 percentile echoes the chinks in his crossing ability.
One possible area for improvement is his pass accuracy per 90, which stands at a mediocre 46.75 percentile. Clear chances to score also seem to elude him, as evidenced by his xA per 90 score in the lower 5.19 percentile.
Nonetheless, given his age, Rigg's current showing promises a trajectory full of potential. With more exposure and maturity in his game, his weaknesses could transform into strengths, underscoring his hallmark as one of England's brightest football prospects.
