English soccer player Michelle Agyemang, a standout super-sub for the Euro 2025 team, agrees to a loan to Brighton
Brighton & Hove Albion Secures Michelle Agyemang's Loan Return for WSL 2025-26 Season
Michelle Agyemang, the 19-year-old forward who made a significant impact for England during the Euro 2025 tournament, has returned to Brighton & Hove Albion on a season-long loan from Arsenal.
Agyemang's Rise to Stardom
Agyemang, who has been with Arsenal since the age of six, made her senior debut for the Gunners at the age of 16 in November 2022. She quickly established herself as a key player, scoring five goals in 22 appearances during her first loan spell at Brighton last season, contributing to the club's record-breaking campaign.
Agyemang's Euro 2025 Heroics
During the Euro 2025 tournament, Agyemang played as a super-sub for Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses. She scored twice in four appearances, including crucial late equalizers in the quarter-final against Sweden and the semi-final against Italy, which earned her the Young Player of the Tournament award.
The Reason for Agyemang's Return
Arsenal's fierce competition for forward positions, with several established players and a new £1 million signing, has limited Agyemang’s regular playing time. The loan to Brighton offers her consistent minutes and an opportunity to continue developing as a young player. Both Arsenal and Agyemang, along with her family, agreed that returning to Brighton would best support her growth.
Brighton's Expectations for the Upcoming Season
Brighton manager Dario Vidosic has expressed high expectations for Agyemang's attacking contribution this season. He highlighted her character, work ethic, and champion mentality, stating that she is expected to be a key attacking talent for the club and continue building on her breakout performances.
