Some footballers wait years for the kind of choice Wilson Isidor is facing right now: which country gets his goals. The 25-year-old Sunderland striker has three goals in six league appearances in 2025 and an estimated €18 million market value, yet his biggest unanswered question is international — France or Haiti — and here’s what’s verifiable in that decision, his salary, and his personal life, and what’s still rumor.
Age: 25 (born 27 August 2000) ·
Club: Sunderland AFC ·
Position: Centre-forward ·
Market value: €18 million ·
Goals in current season (2025): 3 in 6 appearances ·
International choice: Weighing France vs. Haiti

Profile basics
Eight rows, one pattern: the essentials of Isidor’s profile are settled, while the strategic questions around him are still in motion.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Full name | Wilson Isidor |
| Date of birth | 27 August 2000 |
| Place of birth | Rennes, France |
| Height | 1.84 m |
| Position | Centre-forward |
| Current club | Sunderland AFC |
| Market value | €18 million (2025 estimate) |
| Nationality | French, Haitian |
How many goals did Isidor score for Sunderland?
The available profile data puts him at three goals in six league appearances for the 2025 season. Digging deeper, the numbers get thinner: no official Sunderland or Premier League statistics page appears in the available record, and Spotrac (contract database) lists Isidor as a Sunderland forward without publishing a complete verified goal count.
Goals per season breakdown
- 2025 (Sunderland): three goals in six league appearances (reported season tally).
- 2022–23 (Lokomotiv Moscow): reportedly scored in each of his first six Russian Premier League appearances (TheCityCeleb (biography aggregator)).
- Earlier career: senior spells at Monaco, Laval, Bastia-Borgo and Lokomotiv Moscow, per biographical summaries.
What his scoring pace means
- Three goals in six games equals a goal every other match.
- Projected over a full 38-match top-flight season at that pace: roughly 19 goals.
- A return like that would likely push his €18 million market value higher.
The pattern: Isidor scores in bursts, not steady drips. The open question is whether the 2025 run becomes a full-season truth or another short flash.
Did Wilson Isidor accept to play for Haiti?
Not officially. Isidor was a France youth international before being linked to Haiti at senior level, yet no public FIFA ruling or Haitian Football Federation announcement confirms a formal switch (Wikipedia (reference profile)).
Current status of international choice
- France youth international; senior choice still open in the available record.
- Haiti is eligible via his Haitian heritage, which is documented in his profile.
- No senior caps for either country yet.
Statements from Isidor and reports
- In an October 2025 interview with Get French Football News, Isidor said he wants to play in a World Cup without settling on France or Haiti.
- Transfer-news account Deadline Day Live reported that he is considering his international future but has not committed.
- Claims of a March 2026 commitment to Haiti and World Cup squad inclusion remain unconfirmed and are treated here as rumor (see timeline below).
The next Haiti squad announcement is the tell: an official federation confirmation would close the France question. Until that appears, treat every rumor about a switch as just that.
Why this matters: Isidor is 25 with zero senior caps. The longer the ambiguity drags on, the more his €18 million profile is discussed as a decision, not a debut.
How much does Wilson Isidor earn?
It depends on which database you ask. Capology estimated his 2024–25 Sunderland base salary at £442,000 — roughly £8,500 gross per week (Capology (salary tracker)). Spotrac lists a four-year contract worth $3.12 million, an average of $780,000 per year (Spotrac (contract database)). Foot Mercato (French football outlet) puts the figure at €1.5 million a year and about £44,000 a week — a number not independently confirmed.
The three numbers side by side
- Capology: £442,000 base salary (2024–25), about £8,500 per week.
- Spotrac: $3.12 million over four years, about $780,000 per year.
- Foot Mercato: €1.5 million per year, about £44,000 per week — unconfirmed.
The gap is not a rounding error. The databases use different currencies, seasons, contract assumptions and estimation methods, and none of them sees the actual payroll. That range matters for negotiations: the lowest estimate is a squad player’s wage, the highest is a regular starter’s.
Contract length and clauses
- Contract expiry: 30 June 2028 (reported by Capology, cited in the snapshot above).
- Contract status: permanent since February 2025.
- Reported transfer fee: around £4 million.
- Market value: €18 million (2025 estimate).
Three databases, three different weekly wages. Any single number pulled from one source is an estimate, not payroll.
The trade-off: anyone quoting Isidor’s wage with one number is picking one estimation method. The only figure every source treats as solid is the contract itself — Sunderland has him tied down through 2028.
What is Wilson Isidor’s religion?
Isidor’s faith is not a public fact. No reliable source in the available record documents a religious affiliation.
That absence of data is the answer. His Wikipedia profile and Capology page catalog his career, height, club and contract — none of them mentions religion. Biography sites that fill in a “religion” field do so without a documented basis.
Cultural and family background
- Born in Rennes, France — the city that shaped his early football development.
- Heritage: Haitian and Malagasy, which is what makes him eligible for multiple national teams.
- Developed through French academies before his senior moves through Monaco, Laval, Bastia-Borgo and Lokomotiv Moscow.
The implication: searches for “Isidor religion” will keep returning nothing until he decides to share it. That silence is the most verifiable fact in this section.
Who is Wilson Isidor’s wife?
Relationship status
- Marital status: reportedly married, according to biographical summaries.
- Wife’s name: not confirmed in any reliable public source.
- Marriage date: not public.
Privacy and public appearances
- The only “wife” mentions come from biography aggregation sites with no named source.
- Isidor’s public profiles document goals and contracts, not relationships.
The catch: his personal life is genuinely private. Until Isidor or a credible outlet publishes something, the honest answer to “who is Wilson Isidor’s wife?” is “not publicly confirmed.”
Contract and salary: the numbers side by side
Ten rows, one pattern: the records agree on his role and contract length, then diverge hard on what he is actually paid.
| Category | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Position / shirt | Centre-forward, No. 18 | Capology (cited above) |
| Club | Sunderland AFC | Spotrac (cited above) |
| Contract status | Permanent from February 2025 | Capology (cited above) |
| Contract expiry | 30 June 2028 | Capology (cited above) |
| Transfer fee | Around £4 million (reported) | — |
| Market value | €18 million (2025 estimate) | Transfermarkt (2025 estimate) |
| Capology salary | £442,000 base (2024–25), about £8,500/week | Capology (cited above) |
| Spotrac contract value | $3.12 million over 4 years, about $780,000/year | Spotrac (contract database) |
| Foot Mercato figure | €1.5 million/year, about £44,000/week — unconfirmed | Foot Mercato (French football outlet) |
| Estimation note | Databases differ by currency, season and method | — |
The implication: if you see a different wage figure tomorrow, do not assume someone got it wrong — assume a different estimation method.
Career timeline: from Rennes to Sunderland
- 27 August 2000 — born in Rennes, France, with Haitian and Malagasy heritage (Wikipedia).
- Youth career — developed through French academies before senior football at Monaco, Laval and Bastia-Borgo (TheCityCeleb (biography aggregator)).
- 2022–23 (Lokomotiv Moscow) — reportedly scored in each of his first six Russian Premier League appearances (TheCityCeleb).
- February 2025 — permanent Sunderland contract; reported expiry 30 June 2028 (Capology).
- October 2025 — tells Get French Football News he wants a World Cup while still weighing France vs. Haiti (Get French Football News).
- Reported March 2026 — claims that he committed to Haiti and appeared in a 2026 World Cup squad list remain unconfirmed; no official FIFA or federation record supports them yet (Wikipedia).
The pattern: Isidor’s career accelerates in short windows — six Russian Premier League games, six Sunderland league games — and the Haiti timeline may be the next one.
Confirmed vs. still unclear: separating fact from rumor
Everything in the first list is sourced in the sections above; everything in the second list is not yet verifiable.
Confirmed
- Born 27 August 2000 in Rennes; Haitian and Malagasy heritage (Wikipedia).
- Sunderland centre-forward wearing No. 18 (Capology).
- Permanent contract reported to run until 30 June 2028 (Capology).
- Eligible for France and Haiti; no senior caps yet (Wikipedia).
Still unclear / reported
- March 2026 Haiti commitment and World Cup squad inclusion — no FIFA or federation confirmation.
- Exact weekly salary — three conflicting database figures.
- Wife’s name and marriage details — not public.
- Religion — no public data.
- Complete Sunderland goal total — no official club statistics page found.
- Match-level reports (including a goal in a 3–0 win over West Ham in August 2025) remain thinly sourced.
- 2024 transfer fee reported around £4 million — no official confirmation.
- Three goals in six league appearances in 2025 season — not confirmed by official club stats.
Why this matters: on a low-information profile like this, the disciplined take is to trust the confirmed list and treat the rumor list as a watchlist, not a biography.
What Isidor has said
Isidor wants to play in a World Cup — and has not picked which country will get him there.
Get French Football News, interview report (October 2025)
That interview captures the tension of his 2025: ambition without a jersey.
Isidor is considering his international future but has not committed.
Deadline Day Live, transfer-news report
Deadline Day Live is a transfer-news account, not an official channel. Treat it as signal, not confirmation.
What this means: the public words are consistent — ambition, not commitment. The next chapter is a paperwork decision, not a talent one.
Where this leaves Isidor, Sunderland and Haiti
All of this lands on a single pending decision. Isidor is a 25-year-old centre-forward with a goal every other game, a contract through 2028 and two national teams waiting on him. For the Haitian Football Federation, the choice is clear: secure his commitment with an official call-up and the paperwork to match, or watch a French-trained striker with an €18 million valuation keep France as his default.
