Aston Villa Agree €12m Deal for Metz Teen Striker Brian Madjo — Report

The move would extend Villa's push for teenage talent following the signing of Brazilian winger Alysson.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing Fabrizio Romano report Villa have a five-and-a-half-year contract lined up for the 16-year-old with a medical scheduled, with no official announcement yet from the clubs.
  • Madjo has made five first-team appearances for Metz this season after joining their academy in 2023.
  • He was born in Enfield and raised in Luxembourg and is the son of former professional footballer Guy Madjo.
  • He has three senior friendly caps for Luxembourg and has also played for England Under-17s, so a future nationality switch remains possible under FIFA rules.
  • Luxembourg technical director Manuel Cardoni has compared his profile to Romelu Lukaku, and the reported fee would rank among Metz’s larger sales.
