Youri Tielemans has gone: such an elegant player with an eye [and nose? – Football Daily Ed] for the spectacular. Morgan Rogers has also departed: so energetic and skilful, always carrying that goal threat. And goodbye to Lucas Digne. But Villa fans who have been keeping their eye trained behind the curtain may not have been quite so concerned. Earlier this month, their 17-year-old striker Brian Madjo – 6ft4in, body of iron ore – was cleared by the court of arbitration for sport to play competitive fixtures for the club. Born in London but already capped for Luxembourg, Villa and Fifa were in diagreed over whether Madjo, signed from Metz in January for £10m, qualified as a home purchase or an international transfer. If it was the latter, as a minor, he wouldn’t have been eligible until turning 18 next January. While waiting for the verdict, Madjo banged in four goals in pre-season friendlies, against Walsall, Real Sociedad and Indonesia All Stars, and upon finally being cleared for the big boys, could have scored as many again in 45 minutes against the best team in the world, Paris Saint-Germain.This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.

Arteta has personally asked for him to be signed this summer Mikel Arteta is eager for Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid star Marc Pubill to bolster his defence ahead of the new season. The Premier League champions have strengthened in midfield and in attack with Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis added to the squad for a combined fee of £109million.

The Spain international played the full 90 minutes in each of Atletico’s Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal with Arteta hugely impressed by the 23-year-old. According to AS, he immediately instructed Andrea Berta to ‘make a move’ for the defender, with the club’s sporting director approaching his former employers over a transfer. Arsenal were prepared to ‘break the bank’ to bring Pubill to north London but the report states things have gone no further with Atletico determined to hold onto their defender with talks also underway to tie him down to a new contract. Pubill is also said to be fully committed to the project in the Spanish capital. Pubill was part of Spain’s World Cup-winning squad (Picture: REUTERS) Arsenal boast perhaps the most formidable defence in club football but injury problems have been a growing issue. In addition to Pubill, the Gunners have also been linked with Barcelona star Jules Kounde and Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa this summer. Jurrien Timber, Arteta’s first-choice right-back, has not played since March with a groin injury ruling him out of the season run-in and the World Cup with Netherlands. He has returned to training but his manager has been unable to provide a clear timescale for his return to the team. Ben White, another option at right-back and centre-half, suffered a knee injury in May that also ruled him out of the World Cup. The former Brighton star is fit again, featuring in pre-season. Timber has not played since March (Picture: Arsenal FC via Getty Images) William Saliba meanwhile is sidelined as a result of a back injury. He and the club opted against the option of surgery over the summer with the France international likely to miss the opening months of the new campaign. Elsewhere, Arsenal have explored a deal to sign another Atletico star in Julian Alvarez. The Argentina international is desperate to join Barcelona however with reports in Spain claiming he is not interested in a return to England. Atletico, furious with Barcelona’s public pursuit of the striker this summer, are refusing to sell him to their domestic rivals.
