Not a bad 45 minutes from Brian Madjo. The 17-year-old is clearly physically developed beyond his years, and his goalscoring instincts were evident with both of his finishes. A very encouraging outing. #AVFC

Ezri Konsa has two years remaining on his contract at Villa Park & has been open to discussing a new one So far no agreement has been reached, with Konsa looking to be one of Villa’s top earners. At this stage, he is thought to be keeping an open mind on his future @MailSport
