He is. I've noticed he is developing his right foot too. He'll play centrally in the long run, and his time out wide will help him with that. And you can't help being comfortable with both feet in there.
I noticed on Sunday Hall was trying to stop him get a cross in Riggy just shifted position and slung it over with his left foot.
Well he's a lefty with a right foot getting better. They can be hard to stop!
How do you think he compares to Foden? They have had similarly high expectations and were kept at their club rather than sent on loan at 17 or 18.
What stood out with Foden when I saw him at U16 sort of level was his decision making and the speed of it was phenomenal. He seems a bit faster and with quicker acceleration than Riggy. The physical side of Riggy's game, including tackling and defensive work-rate, are better though.
