Arsenal's teenage sensation Michelle Agyemang has received her first senior call-up to the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2025 qualifiers, in a move that highlights her rapid rise in women's football.
The 18-year-old forward, who has been turning heads in the Women's Super League, joins Sarina Wiegman's 25-player squad for crucial matches against France and Sweden. This selection comes after her impressive performances for Arsenal's first team this season.
A Dream Come True
'It's an incredible honour,' Agyemang told reporters after the announcement. 'Growing up watching the Lionesses, I always dreamed of this moment. To get the call from Sarina was emotional - I think my family were more excited than I was!'
The young striker becomes one of the few players to earn an England call-up while still eligible for the Under-19s, demonstrating Wiegman's faith in her potential.
Arsenal's Production Line Continues
