Five facts about England striker Michelle Agyemang

England are through to the Euro 2025 semi-finals after a nailbiting match against Sweden.

One of the Lionesses' standout players was Michelle Agyemang, who came off the bench to score England's equaliser, keeping their trophy hopes alive.

England manager Sarina Wiegman had predicted the 19-year-old would "bring something different", when naming her in the Euros squad.

But who is Michelle Agyemang? Here are five facts about her you may not know...

1. She joined Arsenal at the age of six

Agyemang is a lifelong Arsenal fan and joined the club's academy at the age of six, after her dad, a grassroots football coach, secured her a trial.

She started out playing as a defender but developed into a striker.

Agyemang played through the age categories and moved into Arsenal's first-team set-up, making her debut in November 2022 at the age of 16.

She scored her first goal for the club two months later and made her first appearance in a European competition in Arsenal's Champions League semi-final in May 2023.

Agyemang has also had loan spells with Watford and Brighton & Hove Albion.

2. She was a regular goalscorer for the Young Lionesses

Before joining the senior side, Agyemang had been a regular goalscorer for the Young Lionesses.

She made 25 age-group appearances for the national team - from the under-16s to the under-23s.

She scored 10 goals in 12 appearances for the under-17s, before making the step up to the under-19s team.

Then within the space of a few days in April this year, she went from scoring for the under-19s to producing an amazing debut for the senior side, which led to her Euros call-up.

3. She has previously been a ballgirl for England

Euro 2025 isn't technically Agyemang's first senior tournament appearance for the Lionesses.

Did you know she's previously appeared as a ballgirl for England?

In October 2021, Agyemang was at Wembley Stadium during Sarina Wiegman's first game in charge of the Lionesses.

And it appears she could well have been a lucky mascot that day.

England went on to win the match 4-0 against Northern Ireland.

4. She scored on her England senior debut

Scoring on your England senior debut is something many players dream about, but how about netting your first England goal just 41 seconds after being subbed on?

That's exactly what happened to Michelle earlier this year.

She made her first senior appearance in the Nations League against Belgium in April.

The 19-year-old fired in a stunning volley within a minute of coming on as a substitute late on in the game.

After the match, Wiegman was full of praise for Agyemang.

"That goal was just incredible. The composure, the first touch and the second touch. For her, it was really nice that she comes on and within a minute she has the moment," she said.

5. She's the youngest Lioness at Euro 2025

Despite having only played 14 minutes of senior international football, manager Sarina Wiegman named Agyemang in England's Euro 2025 squad last month.

At the age of 19, Agyemang is the youngest Lionesses at the tournament - and also the only teenager.

But the striker says she's ready to play and support her fellow teammates.

"Just focusing on how I can improve my game and how I can help the team is my most important thing.

"All of us on the bench know that we could be called upon any time and we have gone through scenarios. It could be anyone at any time," Agyemang added.
