After gaining promotion to the Premier League, Sunderland triggered the clause included in Le Fée's loan deal to make his stay permanent for a £19 million deal. Le Fée signed a four-year deal becoming Sunderland's first signing of their return to the top flight.[14]
During the 25/26 season Enzo Le Fee created the "Double Nut Mag" a variant of the popular nutmeg but with the distinct difference of assist the winner of the Tyne Wear Derby by nutmegging two Newcastle defenders with a single pass setting up Bryan Brobbey for Sunderland's winner.[15]
