Arsenal's rising star Michelle Agyemang has earned her first senior call-up to the England Women's squad ahead of their crucial Euro 2025 qualifiers. The 18-year-old forward, who has been turning heads with her performances for the Gunners, could make her international debut as the Lionesses aim to secure their place in next year's tournament.
A Dream Come True for Agyemang
The talented teenager has been rewarded for her impressive club form with a spot in Sarina Wiegman's 25-player squad. Agyemang, who joined Arsenal's academy at just eight years old, has progressed through the ranks to become one of the most exciting young prospects in English football.
Wiegman's Faith in Youth
England manager Sarina Wiegman has shown her willingness to blood young talent, with Agyemang following in the footsteps of fellow Arsenal starlet Lotte Wubben-Moy who broke into the senior squad at a similar age. "Michelle has shown tremendous potential and maturity beyond her years," Wiegman commented. "This call-up is well deserved."
Crucial Qualifiers Ahead
The Lionesses face important matches against Sweden and the Republic of Ireland in their bid to qualify for Euro 2025. With several key players missing through injury, Agyemang could get her chance to shine on the international stage.
From Academy to International Football
Agyemang's rapid rise:
- Joined Arsenal academy aged 8
- Made senior debut at 17
- Scored first WSL goal this season
- Now in contention for England debut
The young forward's inclusion adds fresh attacking options to Wiegman's squad as England look to build on their Euro 2022 triumph. With her pace, technical ability and eye for goal, Agyemang could be the next breakout star for the Lionesses.
