Sunderland have secured Enzo Le Fee on a permanent deal following their return to the Premier League. The team triumphed over Sheffield United with a 2-1 victory in the Championship play-off final at Wembley Stadium last month. This win marks Sunderland's comeback to the top tier after an eight-year absence.
Le Fee, a creative midfielder, was instrumental in Sunderland's promotion journey. He joined on a six-month loan from Roma in January and made 18 appearances. During this period, he scored once and provided four assists, creating 28 chances overall. Only Trai Hume and Patrick Roberts surpassed him in chance creation for Sunderland after January, each with 34.

After signing a four-year contract, Le Fee expressed his commitment to Sunderland on their website. "I said before the play-off final that my heart was in Sunderland," he stated. "I wanted to stay, and this made it the most important game of my life." His enthusiasm for the club is evident as he looks forward to facing new challenges together with his teammates.
"From the moment I arrived, I have enjoyed my football, my team-mates, and our supporters," Le Fee continued. "We shared an incredible experience, and now we get to take the next step." His excitement about playing in the Premier League is palpable as he anticipates what lies ahead for him and the team.
The midfielder's contribution was crucial during Sunderland's campaign. His ability to create opportunities played a significant role in their success. As they prepare for Premier League challenges, Le Fee’s presence will be vital for Sunderland’s ambitions in the upcoming season.
