"The 19-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year as she helped the Lionesses win Euro 2025 in Switzerland - just three months after making her senior international debut. She proved decisive off the bench at the Euros, scoring crucial late equalisers in the quarter-final win against Sweden and in the semi-final victory over Italy. Her interventions led to her being named young player of the tournament, and she was later awarded the Golden Girl trophy for the best young player in Europe."
"She has been on loan at Brighton from Arsenal since September 2024, with the Seagulls re-signing her on loan in August after her success with England. Last season, she scored five goals in 22 appearances as Brighton came fifth in the Women's Super League - their highest finish in the competition. However, Agyemang is set to miss the rest of the 2025-26 season after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while playing for the Lionesses in October."
"Agyemang made her senior England debut in a Nations League game against Belgium in April, when she scored a stunning volley just 41 seconds after coming on as a substitute Agyemang was presented with her award by England and Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze and Gladiators star Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. In 2024, darts player Luke Littler won the Young Sports Personality of the Year award."
