Enzo Le Fée has signed a new contract with Sunderland AFC that will keep him at the club until 2031, the club confirmed on Tuesday. The 26-year-old midfielder joined Sunderland on loan from AS Roma in January 2025 before making the move permanent six months later.
Le Fée has been an integral figure at the Stadium of Light since his arrival. He played a significant part in Sunderland’s promotion to the Premier League at the end of the 2024-25 season. In his first campaign in England’s top flight, he scored five goals and provided six assists in 36 league appearances, finishing with six goals and six assists across all competitions in 40 matches.
The French Under-21 international has started every game for Sunderland this season, featuring in all six matches so far. One of his standout performances came in the Europa League, where he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against AZ Alkmaar. This victory marked Sunderland’s first European Cup match since 1973.
Le Fée, a product of the FC Lorient academy, has earned 15 caps for France Under-21s, netting three goals at that level. His progress at Sunderland has coincided with the club’s rise back to the Premier League and their return to European competition after decades away.
The extension of his contract until 2031 shows Sunderland’s intent to build their squad around the French midfielder. Since joining the Black Cats, Le Fée has been praised for his creativity and consistent performances in midfield.
The club’s announcement did not reveal the financial terms of the deal, but the length of the contract signals a long-term plan for Le Fée to remain a central figure at Sunderland. The Black Cats are currently competing in both the Premier League and the Europa League this season, with Le Fée a regular starter in both competitions.
This new contract comes after a period of rapid development for Le Fée, who has quickly adapted from Ligue 1 football to the demands of English football. Sunderland fans will be hoping he continues to contribute both goals and assists as the club seeks to establish itself in the Premier League and make an impact in Europe.
Le Fée’s role in Sunderland’s historic return to European competition has already earned him a place in the club’s recent history. His performance against AZ Alkmaar was Sunderland’s first European win in 50 years, a milestone that underlines his growing importance to the team.
With the contract extension now official, Sunderland have secured one of their most promising midfielders for the long haul. The club’s focus will now turn to how Le Fée and his teammates can maintain their momentum through the rest of the 2026-27 season.
