Overview
- Sunderland confirmed on Wednesday that Enzo Le Fée has signed a new five-year contract keeping him at the club until 2031.
- Le Fée initially joined on loan from Roma in January 2025 and became a permanent Sunderland player after promotion when a purchase obligation, reported at about £19m, was triggered.
- Since 2025 Le Fée has been the team’s primary creative playmaker, leading Sunderland with 13 goal involvements and 61 chances created across competitions from the start of the 2025–26 season.
- He scored from the penalty spot to secure a 1-0 Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar in September, which was Sunderland’s first goal in European competition since 1973.
- Club director Florent Ghisolfi praised Le Fée’s quality and character, and the contract is meant to lock in squad continuity for the Europa League campaign even as Sunderland manage an inconsistent start in the Premier League.
