Le Fee joins Black Cats in a permanent deal

They were a positive start to the Black Cats summer as they quickly plan their lives in the Premier League after a memorable promotion from last month’s championship. Sunderland released a big statement by permanently signing the LE fee, following the Lone Spelling at Light of Light in 2024/25, snapping him for around £20 million on club record fees.

The Frenchman played his role in the promotion of Regis Le Bliss, registering three assists in 14 championship starts, and he spoke of his happiness by extending his stay at Wearside.

“Before the playoff finals, I said my heart was in Sunderland – I wanted to stay, and this became the most important game of my life. Together, we did it. From the moment I arrived, I enjoyed my football, my teammates and our supporters.

Sunderland was able to surpass the signature in the summer moment

write x On Thursday, Downey overtook the amount paid in LE fees as he claims Sunderland can break his transfer record again this summer, jumping on as many as five new arrivals.

This is music to the ears of Black Cats fans, and the club shows real signs of ambition before the 2025/26 season begins.

With all three promoted championship teams back straight from the Premier League over the past two years, Lubli’s job is to stop it by signing top quality players.

If Sunderland could break his transfer record twice in the same summer, that’s the only harbinger in that respect, and sports director Chris Jahn Speakman further suggests that a busy summer is happening.

“We want to be high performance and have a youthful team, but we also understand the challenge of what the Premier League is. It’s the best league in the world and we need to have a team that can do what the teams have done before but can do at a higher level.”
