Wat a way of giving

-

DUNCAN WATMORE has signed up to Juan Mata’s initiative and agreed to donate one per cent of his salary to charity.

Sunderland striker Watmore is the first Championsh­ip player to join Mata’s Common Goal.

But other footballer­s already involved include Bayern Munich’s Mats Hummels and Giorgio Chiellini of Juventus.

Watmore, 23, said: “I have always donated to charities, but this is one way of formalisin­g it.

“For me, the main area I would like to go down is to link in with my education – I was lucky enough to get my degree.”
