Michelle Agyemang: Sarina Wiegman says teenager can 'bring something different' to help England at Euro 2025

England teenager Michelle Agyemang has only played 14 minutes of senior international football - but has already made an impression.

It took her just 41 seconds to score a stunning volley on her debut in April, before being voted the best performing player by BBC Sport readers after coming on in the 86th minute in England's Euro 2025 defeat by France on Saturday.

"It's easy to look at the time and think there's not enough left. That's the beauty of the game. It only takes 10 seconds to make an impact," said Agyemang.

No England player had more touches in the opposition box (five) than Agyemang in her four-minute cameo on Saturday.

The 19-year-old was Sarina Wiegman's wildcard for Euro 2025 and despite a damaging start in that 2-1 loss to France, Agyemang has provided a spark.

"Going into any game, most players will say they get nervous and I do feel that sometimes," said Agyemang.

"But when there's not much going your way, it can actually be more beneficial. You can just take the game by the scruff of the neck.

"That's how I felt the other day and on another day it could have been three points for us.

"To be here in the first place is more than enough for me. Everyone wants to do the best they can, whether they are starting or not. As long as I'm helping the team, that's my main ambition."
