Brian Djomeni Madjo (born 12 January 2009) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Aston Villa. He has represented Luxembourg and England at youth levels.
Madjo was born on 12 January 2009 in Enfield, England and moved with his family to Luxembourg at a young age. Born to Cameroonian parents, he is the son of Cameroonian footballer Guy Madjo. [1]
As a youth player, Madjo joined the youth academy of Luxembourgian side Marisca Mersch. Subsequently, he joined the youth academy of Luxembourgian side Racing FC Union Luxembourg. In 2023, he joined the youth academy of French Ligue 1 side FC Metz. Following an impressive season with Metz’s under‑19 side, he signed his first professional contract with the club in July 2025, which runs until June 2028. [2]
Madjo made his professional debut on 17 August 2025, starting and playing 58 minutes in a 0–1 loss against Strasbourg. [3] Hence, he became the club's youngest debutant, aged 16 years and 217 days, breaking previous record of Bernard Zénier in August 1974. [4] He later featured in two matches for Metz's B team in the Championnat National 3, scoring twice in a match against Neuilly-sur-Marne in November. [5]
On 12 January 2026, Madjo signed for Premier League club Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee, [6] [7] reported to be up to €12 million. [8]
Despite earning three caps at senior international level for Luxembourg during the first half of 2025, Madjo received his first call-up to the England U17 squad in August 2025. [9] The following week, he scored on his debut in a victory over Venezuela U17. [10]
Madjo plays as a forward. Luxembourgish news website Virgule wrote in 2023 that he is a "1.86m tall guy, built like a rock, athletic and technically interesting". [11] Right-footed, he has received comparisons to Belgium international Romelu Lukaku. [12]
