Aston Villa have confirmed 17-year-old Brian Madjo will be available to feature in competitive fixtures in the 2026-27 season.

The announcement comes after Madjo joined Villa for a £10m fee in January 2026, but his move initially restricted him playing due to "Fifa's rules on the international transfer of minors".

The West Midlands club said: "Aston Villa can confirm that the club's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the registration of Brian Madjo has been upheld.

"Born in Enfield, London and a UK citizen, he left England at a young age and was raised in Luxembourg."

So far, Madjo has scored four goals in pre-season and has been tipped to be a "tantalising prospect" by BBC Sport's Nick Mashiter for the upcoming season.
