The 17-year-old was born in London, developed in Luxembourg then switched back to play for England. Those who know him tell his story.
Aston Villa forward Brian Madjo has enjoyed a remarkable rise through Luxembourg's football system to senior club football. The teenage striker scored on his competitive debut for Aston Villa against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup. Villa successfully appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after FIFA initially rejected Madjo's registration to play before turning 18.
