Despite his youth, Madjo has made five Ligue 1 appearances for Metz.

Last August when, against Strasbourg, he became the youngest player in Metz's history to start in Ligue 1, at just 16 years and 217 days.

Born in Enfield, England, the young striker arrived in Metz in 2023 from Racing FC Union Luxembourg, signing his first professional contract the following June. 

Despite his age and limited experience, his imposing physique (1.93 m) and potential have convinced Aston Villa to bet on him as a long-term prospect. Madjo recently changed nationality, choosing to represent England at U17 level.
