Michelle Agyemang: Sarina Wiegman says a boy can ‘bring something different’ to help England in Euro 2025


When Wiegman was called Agyemang in the squad, he said in front of Arsenal it could “bring something different” and he expected he would show in Switzerland.

He attracted a loan in Brighton this season and Agyemang has been on Wiegman’s radar for a few years, having continued through England youth teams.

Agyemang looks calm in front of the camera and matures over his years – but on the pitch it causes chaos.

“I remember the first time he played because he gave me the gym in the gym. I was very slow (ball),” England captain Leah Williamson said last month.

“I gave him a little stick on it, but in my head I thought: ‘You need to move the ball quickly, because he has something about it.’

“My first opinion is that he told me he was there, which I love.”

Agyemang wants to be a “unique player” and is struggling with a position, wanting to make an impact “from the first minute to the end”.

He takes inspiration from club mate Alessia Russo and Chelsea ahead Lauren James, who is “one of the most talented players” he has seen.

But there is one Agyemang character already known for – its power.

“He only comes in to people and bodies because he is strong,” Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze.

“He is very sweet and has no mercy as a man, but then on the pavement he is probably one of the most willing to play against because I can run into his hard work!

“He likes to bring it back. He’s told (by Wiegman) that he needs to go a little easier but I said: ‘No, just keep going, I prefer, it makes it difficult for us.”
