Fearless Madjo, 17, ends eight-month wait with dream Villa debut
Teenage striker Brian Madjo scores on his Aston Villa debut in Uefa Super Cup defeat by Paris St-Germain to end eight-month wait for a chance to play in competitive games.
Aston Villa striker Brian Madjo, 17, finally made his debut for the club after an eight-month wait, making an impressive impact against Paris St-Germain in a UEFA Super Cup match. Initially joining from Metz in January, Madjo had been seeking a chance to showcase his skills. Born in London, he was subsequently eligible to represent England, and after an appeal through the Court of Arbitration for Sport, he was finally included in the squad for the Salzburg match.
During the game, he scored a vital equalizer against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and displayed his defensive prowess, which impressed Aston Villa boss Unai Emery. Madjo's goalscoring ability and commitment to the team have put him in line to be considered for Harry Kane's successor as England's top striker once he retires.
