Sunderland's Enzo le Fee says "this is just the beginning" of his journey with the club after signing a new deal until 2031.

Le Fee joined the Black Cats initially on loan from Roma in January 2025, making the move permanent in the summer after Regis le Bris' side achieved promotion to the Premier League.

The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has scored nine goals and provided 10 assists in 64 appearances for the club, including the Sunderland's first European goal in 53 years in their Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar earlier in September.

"I'm really happy to have signed a new contract with Sunderland," said Le Fee.

"From the moment I arrived, I've felt the passion of the supporters and the ambition of everyone at the club - I've loved my time here.

"We've achieved something special together over the past couple of seasons, but I believe this is just the beginning. I feel very settled here and I'm excited to continue developing, competing at the highest level and helping the club move forward.

"I'm very proud to wear the Sunderland shirt and I can't wait to see what we can achieve together in the years ahead."

Sunderland director of football Florent Ghisolfi added: "Enzo is a very important player for us, but also an important person within our group.
