Brian Madjo

Early career

As a youth player, Madjo joined the youth academy of Luxembourgish side Marisca Mersch. Subsequently, he joined the youth academy of Luxembourgish side Racing Union in 2020. In 2023, he joined the youth academy of French Ligue 1 side Metz. Following an impressive season with Metz's under‑19 side, he signed his first professional contract with the club in July 2025, which ran until June 2028. Madjo made his professional debut on 17 August 2025, starting and playing 58 minutes in a 0–1 loss against Strasbourg. Hence, he became the club's youngest debutant, aged 16 years and 217 days, breaking previous record of Bernard Zénier in August 1974. 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.

Aston Villa

On 12 January 2026, Madjo signed for Premier League club Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee, reported to be up to €12 million. In March 2026, it was revealed that Aston Villa were in dispute with FIFA which had prevented them from registering Madjo as a player, meaning that he could not feature for their first or youth teams in competitive matches. The disagreement stemmed from FIFA characterising the transfer as an international transfer, due to Madjo's appearances for the Luxembourg national team, whereas Aston Villa considered him English due to being born in London. An international transfer cannot take place until a player is 18 years old, which…

After initially representing Luxembourg and earning three caps at senior international level for them during the first half of 2025, Madjo accepted his first call-up to the England under-17 squad in August 2025. The following week, he scored on his debut in a victory over Venezuela U17.

Madjo plays as a forward. Luxembourgish news website Virgule wrote in 2025 that he is a "1.93m tall guy, built like a rock, athletic and technically interesting". Right-footed, he has received comparisons to Belgium international Romelu Lukaku.

Madjo was born on 12 January 2009 in Enfield, England and moved with his family to Boevange-sur-Attert, Luxembourg at a young age. Born to Cameroonian parents, he is the son of Cameroonian footballer Guy Madjo. He obtained Luxembourgish citizenship in March 2025.
