Sunderland are set to hold on to Newcastle United and Manchester United tracked teenager Chris Rigg, who has decided to sign a new contract with the club, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The 17-year-old has one more year left on his current contract to run and Premier League clubs have been keen to snare him away this summer.
Arsenal and Newcastle have heavily scouted him, while Manchester United were reportedly plotting to make a strong move to land him.
Sunderland have been pushing to convince Rigg to sign a new contract and stay at the club.
It has been claimed that Rigg is set to ignore overtures from the Premier League to continue at the Stadium of Light.
The teenage midfielder has agreed to sign a new three-year contract with the Black Cats.
Sunderland worked hard to convince the player to stick to the club despite interest from the Premier League.
The Championship side have also made a big financial commitment to convince him to stay put on Wearside.
