Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported18m ago
Aston Villa has secured a favorable ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the registration of 17-year-old forward Brian Madjo. The decision overturns a previous block imposed by FIFA, which had prevented the club from fielding the player in official competitions following his transfer from the French club Metz.
Madjo joined the Premier League side in January for a reported fee of US$13.44 million. With the CAS appeal now upheld, the club is cleared to register the teenager for competitive play.
