Nwaneri has already made his first team debut for Arsenal, having been given a cameo off the bench in the 3-0 win over Brentford in September. The 15-year-old has yet to sign a professional contract so the Blues do have a decent chance of securing his signature.

Moore is a striker and, despite only being 15, he is already playing for Spurs’s Under 18 team, having also been capped by England at Under 16 level.

Rigg, meanwhile, is a midfielder, and he was England’s Under 16 captain before being promoted to the Under 17s. He has also made three appearances for the Black Cats’ Under 21 side in Premier League 2 this campaign.
