Sunderland have coughed up to Altrincham for Duncan Watmore.
The Sunderland Echo says Watmore's tenth Premier League start for Sunderland has handed his former club a five-figure cash windfall.
The 22-year-old started on the right-hand side for the Black Cats in their 3-0 home loss to Everton on Monday night.
And with David Moyes throwing him in from the start his ex-employers, Vanarama National League North club Altrincham, are quids in.
England U/21 international Watmore made the switch from non-league football in May 2013, signing for an undisclosed fee.
