Potential Hammers heartbreak as Fabrizio Romano claims 12-goal under-21 star could join Spurs

Fabrizio Romano has dropped a seriously worrying Dan Rigge to Tottenham claim that West Ham United fans will be really concerned about.

West Ham youngster Dan Rigge, 18, is apparently on the radar of our London rivals Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Hammers beat eight clubs to the signing of the youngster in the summer of 2022, so that in itself shows just how highly talented he is.

Rigge has bagged 12 goals and six assists in 26 games for West Ham’s under-21s and under-18s so far this season (Transfermarkt).

He scored an absolute stunner for the under-18s during our win over Derby County earlier this term, and that strike offered us a sneak peak of what he’s really capable of.

However, there is some really bad news for us all to digest today regarding the talented teen…

Seriously worrying Dan Rigge to Tottenham claim

The 18-year-old joined us from Manchester City just under two years ago, and he’s very highly rated indeed at the London Stadium.

He signed his first professional terms with the Hammers in October 2023, but now a really worrying claim has emerged.

Fabrizio Romano reckons that Tottenham are in the hunt to sign the young West Ham starlet…

Losing Rigge to Tottenham would be a real heartbreaker for the Hammers.

The 18-year-old is a sensational young talent, and I have every faith that he’ll go on and become a star in the Premier League.

Fabrizio Romano’s claim that Tottenham could sign Dan Rigge in the summer is a huge concern, there’s no doubt about that.

Let’s hope that the Hammers board ensure that he remains with us.
