Enzo Le Fee's five greatest Sunderland moments after long-term deal to 2031 | OneFootball

Sunderland announced earlier this week that Enzo Le Fee has signed a long-term contract running to 2031. The midfielder has made 56 appearances, scored seven, and become central to Regis Le Bris’s revival.

He joined from Roma in 2025 on loan, then signed permanently after promotion for £19 million. Here are five standout moments.

Bournemouth at home brought a jolt, Sunderland trailed 2-0 inside 20 minutes. Le Fee halved it from the spot, then whipped a corner that Brian Brobbey headed in to put them ahead. The fightback kept their home record intact.

A month into his Wearside stint, he tormented Middlesbrough in a 3-2 win at the Riverside. Deployed wide, he carved openings all game, then burst past Luke Ayling and drove low, deflecting off Ryan Giles for the late decider.

At St James’ Park, the hosts led before the break, Chemsdine Talbi levelled soon after. Returning from injury, Le Fee came on with five minutes left and transformed the finish, cutting back for Brobbey’s 90th-minute winner.

Against AZ Alkmaar, on Sunderland’s first European night in 53 years, he buried a pressure penalty. This, a week after an Arsenal miss, secured their first European win at the Stadium of Light.

Then came the play-offs, and the moment etched in supporters’ minds. He kissed the ball, set it for the corner, and found Ballard, who headed in with the final second to book Wembley.
