Sunderland have confirmed the permanent signing of Enzo Le Fée.

The club agreed an obligation-to-buy clause in the event of promotion to the Premier League when signing Le Fée on loan in January, and the formalities have now been completed following Sunderland’s win over Sheffield United in January. Though the transfer window has briefly opened this week in order to allow clubs participating in the Club World Cup to do business, the deal will officially complete when the summer window opens permanently on July 1st.

Le Fée has agreed a four-year deal, running until the summer of 2029. The fee is believed to be in the region of 23 million Euros if all future clauses are met, which would make it a club record following the deal to sign Didier Ndong from Lorient.
