Régis Le Bris believes Enzo Le Fée has more to give at Sunderland | OneFootball

Enzo Le Fée has signed a new five-year contract at Sunderland, and Régis Le Bris believes the midfielder still has significant scope to improve. The head coach credits the Frenchman’s attitude and appetite to learn as the drivers of further progress.

According to Sunderland Echo, Le Fée’s form since the club’s return to the Premier League has made him the side’s creative fulcrum from central midfield. Le Bris feels that mindset means he is not at his peak yet.

He points to the player’s resilience, recalling occasions when a missed penalty and a poor game led to doubt, only for Le Fée to respond strongly. Le Bris also notes the league’s constant tactical churn, with opponents often finding answers within two games, so Sunderland’s midfield still has areas to explore to become more dominant.

The pair’s relationship dates back to FC Lorient and helped persuade the 26-year-old to drop into the Championship on loan from AS Roma before this new chapter. Le Bris says their longstanding trust proved decisive when the chances of signing him looked slim, and it remains a shared advantage now.

While Le Fée’s ability was never in doubt, Le Bris believes his attitude has underpinned his rise, remembering how Lorient stood by him through a serious youth injury. The coach is proud to have seen that development, but stresses the credit belongs to the player, while his role is to create conditions for consistency.
