“I said before the Play-Off Final that my heart was in Sunderland – I wanted to stay, and this made it the most important game of my life. Together, we did it. From the moment I arrived, I have enjoyed my football, my team-mates, and our supporters.” -Enzo Le Fée

“We shared an incredible experience, and now we get to take the next step. There are greater challenges ahead, but we must face them together, and I can’t wait to play for Sunderland in the Premier League.” -Enzo Le Fée

The fee is said to be undisclosed at the moment, but many reports claimed that the player had an obligation to buy for £19.34 million if Sunderland AFC were promoted to the first division of English football.

Enzo is now expected to join the rest of the squad ahead of the pre-season schedule in the coming weeks, as the Black Cats prepare for their upcoming Premier League campaign after 9 long years.
