Florent Ghisolfi and Wilson Isidor react as Sunderland tie striker to 2030

Sunderland have handed striker Wilson Isidor a new contract to the summer of 2030, ending talk of a summer exit. The club said in a statement that the deal was confirmed on the forward’s 26th birthday.

West Ham United and Ipswich Town had shown interest earlier in the window. After the 2-0 pre-season win over RC Lens, head coach Régis Le Bris ruled out a move and noted the player was content with his role.

Talks on improved terms continued in the background before the announcement. Director of football Florent Ghisolfi praised Isidor’s attitude and influence, from the push for promotion to establishing Sunderland back in the Premier League, stressing there is further growth to come.

He highlighted the forward’s commitment whether starting or coming off the bench, a mentality the club view as central to their identity. Sunderland are proud he wants to continue and look forward to his continued development and impact.

Isidor expressed delight at staying on Wearside and believes there is more to achieve. He cited the Premier League and representing Haiti at the World Cup as special moments and pledged to keep improving for the team and supporters.

Since arriving on an initial loan, Isidor has made 82 appearances for the club, scoring 19 goals.
