Sunderland have announced Duncan Watmore has put pen to paper on a new four-and-a-half year deal with the club.
Watmore, 21, scored his first goal for the England Under-21’s against Switzerland last week and has committed his long-term future to Sunderland after impressing when given the chance this season.
“Duncan is an exciting prospect and the kind of talent you want to see coming through at your club,” Sam Allardyce told Sunderland’s official website.
“He is a bright young man, he has a sensible head on his shoulders and if he continues to make the kind of progress we have seen this season, I am sure that he has a great future ahead of him."
No Sunderland player has required fewer minutes per successful dribble in the Premier League this season than Watmore (29.2 mins)
