'Why not?' - Sunderland star Enzo Le Fée outlines 'ultimate' career goal
Sunderland midfielder Enzo Le Fée has been speaking about his international dreams.
Sunderland talent Enzo Le Fée has admitted that it is his “ultimate goal” to play for France at a World Cup.
The midfielder has established himself as a key presence for the Black Cats since his arrival in England, and has enjoyed a standout debut campaign in the Premier League, scoring four goals and assisting four more across 26 top flight outings so far.
But while Le Fée continues to shine for his club, he is still yet to receive a senior international call-up - something that he would love to change in the future. The 26-year-old did, however, win a single U23s cap back in 2021, as well as representing his country at the Tokyo Olympics.
What has Sunderland talent Enzo Le Fée said about his international ambitions?
When asked about his hopes of playing for France one day during an interview with beIN Sports, Le Fée said: "Of course I think about it. Not about this year or this summer, to be honest, but it is one of my targets in my career to play a World Cup with my national team.
"First of all, to play for my national team. But if I can play one World Cup with my national team, I think that would be the top of my objectives. We are in the best league in the world. If I can perform in this league, why not?"

Le Fée also offered his thoughts on Paris Saint-Germain winger Desire Doue, who he played alongside during a shared stint at Rennes, and who is currently thriving for both the Champions League holders and the French national team.
He said: "He was already really, really good. Young, but really strong and agile. Technically, he was unbelievable. When I was playing with him, he didn't play too much because I think at that time he didn't always choose the right moment to use his skills and everything.
"But of course, we know that when you go to a big club, you learn this type of thing. And now it's just crazy. It's good because he keeps a little bit of his crazy side. I think he did well at club level and with the national team as well. So I'm really happy for him because he's a good guy.
"He was young, but he already worked like he was 30 years old. I think he's one of those players where you already know he's in his own world. Football, for him, is the only thing he's got."
