The Champions Protecting England twice saved herself from the elimination set in the quarter-finals and semifinals of Euro 2025. After these last-minute draws the same youthful face of Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old striker who joined Brighton with Arsenal Last season. Here, Flashscore takes a look at a hotshot who is moving through the ranks at fast speed.

Almost four years ago, Adyemang was an unknown amount to Leah Williamson AND Other internationals of England.

However, she was already playing a (small) role along with her idols: at the age of 15, the young man who had come to the ranks in Arsenal Was a ball boy in Wembley, during one of Sarina Wiegman’s first games Lioness bench

“Beth Mead scored a hat-trick I will never forget. It was an invaluable experience,” She told the BBC.

At the time, she probably had no idea that she would play along with nine nine in England at the other European Championship.

The story of the Lionesses with Lionesses resembles a fairy tale. Born in Essex to parents of Ghanaian origin, she grew up in the idoling of Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott, two stars of Arsenal, a club she joined at the age of six.

At the age of 15, she was already a member of Arsenal’s under-21-year-old team, ending up as the team’s top scorer with 19 goals in just 11 games during the 2022-23 season. That same season, she scored for the first team in a fourth round of the FA Cup against Leeds.

Arsenal’s management understood the diamond in her hand and signed it in a professional contract at the age of 17, waiting until she was 18 to formalize her.

The player already described as a “clinical striker” was first borrowed to Watford before being sent Brighton Next season, where she scored only three goals in 17 League matches. But thanks to a blow to luck, she found herself driven to Sarina Wiegman’s team.

From qualification for Euro U19 to Great League

An international with all Lionesses youth teams, Agyemang was called to the U19 England squad in April for the qualifying matches for the European Championship.

However, she had to watch her first match against Belgium from the booth, as she was serving a suspension. Some members of the first team, including Leah Williamson and coach Sarina Wiegman, were in St. George’s Park watching the match and talking to the player ‘punished’.

In the next match, the England U19S won 5-1 in Austria and Agyemang received a call: Alessia Russo had just been injured with the first team and Wiegman had put her confidence in her as replacement.

Three days later, she celebrated her first lid on a match of the League of League against Belgium and scored 41 seconds after it came from its second touch. And what the purpose was: a knee check from a long cross by Leah Williamson, then a reversible volleyball in the distant corner of the net.

Wiegman was understandable satisfied: “This goal was just extraordinary. Composition, first and second touch. Really really nice for it to come out and then score within a minute.”

And the England coach decided to make the new Agyemang ‘its wild postcard’ in the creation of Euro 2025. She had to be going to Poland to lead the U19s attack, but found herself in her first real meeting with the first English team, with a goal in mind: to win a 23rd team.

A supersub that threatens Spain

The rest is in her talent. Restricted to the bench for England’s three before euro matches, Agyemang was the surprise involvement in the Wiegman’s squad.

“It brings something special to the table, “ The coach of England explained.

“She is only 19 years old, but she is very mature and knows exactly what to do. If he continues like this, she has a very bright future in front of her.”

After playing for only five minutes in the group’s stages, the striker proved that it was the feeling of the euro, sparing the elimination holders twice: marking the equilibrium against Sweden in the quarter -finals just ten minutes after they came, and then against Italy in the semifinal, thirty seconds from the end of the normal time.

The story would have been even better if her hit in the 117th minute of the semifinal did not crash against the bar.

But Chloe Kelly’s penalty in the 119th minute was enough to send England to a third consecutive tournament.

“Mich went into the field and made things happen for the team, turned us into the game and took us back on track“Kelly said for a press conference.

“The moment she struck in the junction bar gave us new energy. She was unbelievable and gave us a lot of confidence.”

“I’m not surprised to see it at this level“Added Lucy Bronze, the oldest member of the team, on the topic of the youngest player.

“I remember the first time she came to exercise and I already knew this girl was destined to be part of this group.

“She is doing wonders coming from the bench, scoring goals, setting up shows and working hard.”

So much, in fact, that Wiegman says it has some difficulty creating an initial XI, given the newlyweds.

At the moment, the coach prefers to hold the adgyemang in the bench, ready to play the savior again.

“She is very grateful to get minutes. Her growth and development have been very fast, she went not to be a beginner in Brighton to get a lot more minutes and showing how good she was, and then she integrated into our team … I think she is very comfortable in this role.”

After two goals in her last two games, number 17 is now ready to play Spoilsport against Spain.
