A sixteen-year-old football prospect, Brian Madjo, has again declined a call-up to Luxembourg's senior national team. The Metz FC striker, who stands six feet four inches tall, has instead chosen to participate in a training camp with England's under-17 squad in Dubai. Madjo, who was born in England to Cameroonian parents and raised in Luxembourg, retains eligibility for all three nations.
His recent decision for England's youth side follows a similar rejection of Luxembourg several months prior. Because his three prior appearances for Luxembourg were in friendly matches, he remains uncommitted under international football regulations. A fourth cap would permanently tie him to the Luxembourg national team.
This strategic choice allows the young player more time to assess his international future. Madjo continues his development at French club FC Metz, where he is a regular starter for their youth teams.
