Update on Sunderland`s Transfer Activity: Le Fee Signs Permanently
The Black Cats are still enjoying the success of their thrilling Championship playoff final victory over Sheffield United last month. With Premier League football secured at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland is bracing for a busy transfer window.
They have already completed the permanent signing of Enzo Le Fee on a four-year contract, and he shared his excitement:
“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. 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.”
Beyond the Le Fee signing, Sunderland is reportedly planning further acquisitions, with Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie suggesting the club might even break their transfer record once more.
Le Bris and his staff are also keen on finding value in the summer market, potentially bringing Championship standouts to the top flight. A recent report indicates that Burnley, Leeds, and Sunderland are all tracking a specific player from the second tier.
