Sunderland star Chris Rigg is now outperforming one of Jude Bellingham’s Birmingham City stats.

Chris Rigg, the adolescent wonder from Sunderland, is currently beating Jude Bellingham, the outstanding player from Real Madrid,

in one important statistic.

Chris Rigg’s ascent to the first team at Regis Le Bris has been nothing short of spectacular; at the young age of seventeen, the

Englishman cemented his spot in the starting lineup.

Chris Rigg, the adolescent wonder from Sunderland, is currently beating Jude Bellingham, the outstanding player from Real Madrid,

in one important statistic.

Chris Rigg’s ascent to the first team at Regis Le Bris has been nothing short of spectacular; at the young age of seventeen, the

Englishman cemented his spot in the starting lineup.

Bellingham scored four goals in just 44 games for the team he played for as a youth before moving to Borussia Dortmund for an

estimated £25 million. Since then, Rigg has astonishingly eclipsed Bellingham’s record for goals scored per contest.

Journalist Michael Graham pointed out that in half the minutes and 11 fewer appearances, Sunderland’s Rigg had scored the same

number of goals for the Black Cats (4).

That is an amazing feat considering Bellingham is one of the best players in the world right now at Real Madrid, and the young

Sunderland native wants to be like Bellingham.

Chris Rigg can go to the very top

With his goal in the 1-1 draw with Leeds, Rigg demonstrated his deft footwork and attacking ability to find a gap in the defense.

With his eye for goal, the young midfielder shown that he is capable of going into dangerous places to score for his team. This is an

instinct that is frequently uncoachable.

Speaking Friday night after the match, Rigg acknowledged that he had been attempting to improve his goal total.

The early talent told Sky Sports, “I am trying to get into those areas and add goals to my game and today I was in the right area at the

right time.”

It’s unsettling to consider that a player who exhibits such maturity on the field is only 17 years old, and it’s even more unsettling to

consider the level he might attain in the future as he appears destined to play at Bellingham’s highest levels.
