Alious**Headline:** Le Bris May Have Found Sunderland’s Modern-Day Julio Arca in “Incredible” Star Enzo Le Fée
Sunderland fans have had plenty of reasons to be excited this season. Under Régis Le Bris, several first-team players are already being tipped to go down as modern-day greats at the Stadium of Light — but one midfielder in particular is drawing special comparisons to a true club icon.
While the likes of Granit Xhaka, Nordi Mukiele, Omar Alderete, and Wilson Isidor have all impressed, it’s Enzo Le Fée who is now being hailed as Sunderland’s potential modern-day Julio Arca.
Remembering Julio Arca’s Magic
During his time on Wearside, Julio Arca was adored for his flair, creativity, and daring forward runs, providing fans with moments of pure joy. Across 173 appearances, the Argentine star scored 21 goals and registered 11 assists, quickly becoming a cult hero. Whether deployed at left-back or further forward, Arca’s technical brilliance and fearless attitude made him one of the most entertaining players ever to wear Sunderland’s red and white.
Former teammates and coaches praised Arca’s confidence and unique style. Ex-goalkeeper Mart Poom called him “very confident,” while Neale Cooper described him as “different class.” His ability to adapt across multiple roles and still influence games made him an invaluable figure throughout Sunderland’s Premier League and Championship battles.
### Enter Enzo Le Fée — Le Bris’ Modern Arca
Fast-forward to today, and Le Bris appears to have found his own Arca-like talent in Enzo Le Fée. Naturally a central midfielder, the 24-year-old Frenchman has been deployed along the left flank, where his vision, technique, and creativity have transformed Sunderland’s attack.
Since his arrival from France, Le Fée has been nothing short of “incredible,” a term used by respected scout Jacek Kulig to describe his rise. In his first run of Premier League games, he’s already produced two goals and three assists, showcasing both composure and flair — just like Arca once did.
His intelligent movement and ability to glide past defenders have made him a nightmare for opponents. One of his standout moments came in August, when he calmly converted a penalty to seal a 2–1 win over Brentford, a result that underlined both his confidence and importance to the team.
### A Star with the Spirit of a Legend
Like Arca, Le Fée combines flair with precision — constantly influencing play while making the extraordinary look effortless. And while Arca’s Sunderland career brought dazzling highs before fading amid the club’s Premier League struggles, Le Fée is determined to go one step further.
His goal is to channel the same magic that made Arca beloved on Wearside, while helping Le Bris establish Sunderland as a Premier League mainstay rather than a yo-yo club.
If his current trajectory continues, Enzo Le Fée may not only be Le Bris’ modern-day Arca — he could become one of Sunderland’s defining stars of the new era.
