Ghana-born forward Michelle Agyemang is making headlines after helping the England women’s national team win the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025.
At just 19 years old, she was the youngest player on the squad but defied all odds to emerge as one of the standout performers of the tournament.
The brilliant display of Agyemang, who plays for English club Arsenal, earned her the Best Young Player award at the end of this year’s Euro edition.

Michelle was born to Ghanaian parents living in the United Kingdom. She lived up to her surname ‘Agyemang’, meaning savior of the nation, by rescuing the Lionesses on two crucial occasions during the tournament.
She came on as a substitute and scored an 81st-minute equaliser against Sweden, sending the game into extra time.
Again, in the match against Italy, she scored in the sixth minute of added time to level the scores. These two moments proved pivotal in England’s eventual tournament victory.
She made a strong mark even before the tournament, scoring just 40 seconds into her debut match for the England Women’s National Team.
