A few months ago, Michelle Agyemang’s hopes of featuring at Euro 2025 appeared slim. She had never received a call-up to England’s senior squad.
But in April, a last-minute nod to replace injured striker Alessia Russo for the Nations League fixture against Belgium opened the door just a crack, and she ripped it off its hinges with her first England goal in the 10-minute cameo she was afforded.
Agyemang spent last season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion from Arsenal, a season that took her from being a fringe prospect to the youngest England player in their squad at the Euros. Agyemang has never hung around.
After two late goals against Sweden and Italy to keep England in the tournament, she has become a cheat code for Sarina Wiegman off the bench.
