The 19-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough 12 months as she helped the Lionesses win Euro 2025 in Switzerland.
That came just three months after she made her senior international debut.
Agyemang proved decisive off the bench, scoring crucial late equalisers in England's quarter-final against Sweden and again in their semi-final victory over Italy.
She was named Young Player of the Tournament, while she was also awarded the Golden Girl trophy given to the best young player in Europe later in the year.

Davina Perrin is one of English cricket's most exciting young talents, and surged to prominence with an extraordinary and record-breaking innings in August.
Her sublime 42-ball century for the Northern Superchargers in The Hundred is the fastest by an English woman in T20s, and the joint third-fastest women's T20 century in a major league or full member T20 international. Only England men's player Harry Brook has scored a quicker century in The Hundred.
Perrin finished second in the run-scoring charts as the Bears reached the Women's T20 Blast Finals day, and was named PCA Women's Young Player of the Year.
Just three months after her international debut, Michelle Agyemang played a decisive role in England's run to Euro 2025 glory - coming off the bench to score crucial late equalisers in both the quarter-final and semi-final.
Agyemang's stunning interventions led to her being named Young Player of the Tournament, and later in the year she was awarded the Golden Girl trophy, which is given to the best young player in Europe.
She was also nominated for the Kopa Trophy for the world's best under-21 female player.

The 18-year-old completed the PDC Triple Crown of World Championship, Premier League and Matchplay titles, before triumphing at the Grand Slam of Darts in November to become world number one for the first time.
We’ve reached the part of the show, over on BBC One and at the top of this page, where we take time to remember those in sport we lost in 2025.
Here, we remember some of those sporting names.

It began with ‘The Magician’ winning the Masters, as Shaun Murphy ended a 10-year wait to triumph in a prestigious Triple Crown event.
And it ended, as far as snooker’s big three tournaments are concerned, with the ‘Jester from Leicester’, Mark Selby, claiming his third UK Championship title and underlining his status as one of the game’s greatest ever players.
In between, Zhao Xintong announced himself as the sport’s new mega star as he made history by becoming the first player from Asia to conquer the Crucible.
His World Championship success was all the more extraordinary given he was suspended from the sport for 20 months, with his burgeoning career abruptly halted when he was one of 10 Chinese players sanctioned in 2023 following an investigation into match-fixing.
All of this has come while Englishman Judd Trump has reigned supreme at the top of the world rankings.
But what of the 'Class of 92’? Snooker's celebrated trio Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins and Mark Williams, are still going strong and still pulling in the crowds.
Arguably the greatest player ever, O’Sullivan, who recently turned 50, reached the last four in Sheffield despite trialling new cues and not playing competitively for several months.
A rejuvenated Higgins won his first title in four years at the World Open and then tasted success at the Tour Championship, while Williams’ well-documented eyesight issues did not prevent him from winning the Xi'an Grand Prix in October.

"Thank you to BBC and the judges. I would also like to congratulate all the coaches who have been so successful with their teams this summer.
"I would like to the thank the FA. The FA is always so supportive and creates the environment we need to be at our best.
"This award is for the players and staff. I have been part of a tremendous team, an incredible group of players and staff.
"I think we need to be the best prepared, we need to be our best, but what made an absolute difference is that we were the best-bonded team - and we were so together. The togetherness in this team was so special and it was incredible to be apart of.
"Finally, I would like to say that every coach - especially every female coach - enjoy yourself, have fun. You can absolutely make a difference!"

Some of the most significant moments have come outside of the pool, including Adam Peaty committing to competing at LA 2028 - a boost to the team and the sport as a whole.
The World Aquatics Championships returned two swimming medals, first the now inevitable win in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay and then a silver for Ben Proud in the 50m splash and dash.
A month later Proud announced he was joining the Enhanced Games in a controversial episode that could rumble on.
More satisfactory moments came in Singapore for Ranjuo Tomblin and Isabelle Thorpe who took a bronze in the artistic swimming, plus medal success for Yasmin Harper and Scarlett Mew Jensen and Jack Laugher and Anthony Harding in the diving. Diving has been axed for next year's Commonwealth Games but swimming will take centre stage.

Image source, Getty ImagesThere is no better place to start a review of the track cycling year than in Konya, Turkey, where in August, Great Britain’s Matt Richardson and Will Bjergfelt wrote their names in the record books.
At an event set up with British Cycling backing to aim for a number of world records, sprint star Richardson became the first cyclist to clock under nine seconds in the 200m flying start with his time of 8.941 seconds, before lowering that mark the very next day to 8.857.
Team-mate Bjergfelt established a new hour record in the C5 classification as he became the first Para-cyclist in history to go beyond 50km, riding a distance of 51.471km to beat the previous mark of 47.569km.To Chile next, where in October, GB won four gold medals at the Track World Championships, a haul kickstarted by Josh Tarling’s debut gold in the points race.
Josh Charlton won GB's first world title in the individual pursuit since Bradley Wiggins in 2008, while Anna Morris retained her title in the women’s equivalent, both adding the world titles to the European crowns they won in Belgium earlier in the year.
On the same night as Morris’ rainbow jersey triumph, two-time Olympic champion Katie Archibald and Maddie Leech won the women’s madison.GB finished the worlds with a medal total of 14 - more than any other nation - which also included two silvers apiece for Richardson and Emma Finucane in the sprint events.
Earlier this evening, Thierry Henry was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award.
Here's the moment he received the trophy, joined by his family on stage.

Image source, Getty ImagesEngland's triumph in Switzerland completed a European Championship treble for Sarina Wiegman, who three years earlier had led the Lionesses to the nation's first major women's football trophy.
She led the Netherlands to the Euro 2017 title and the World Cup final in 2019, before doing the same with England at Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup.
This summer, the 55-year-old became only the second manager to win three consecutive women's Euros titles, after Germany's Tina Theune.
England manager Sarina Wiegman is the Coach of the Year!
Wiegman won her third successive Women's European Championship in 2025, leading England to a second straight triumph.
The coach of the Year award goes to the coach who has made the biggest impact on sport in the UK during 2025.
The winner of this award is decided by a panel and last year went to Trevor Painter and Jenny Meadows, after they guided Keely Hodgkinson to Olympic 800m glory.

The dominant Irish trainer saddled the first three in the Grand National at Aintree, with his son Patrick riding the winner Nick Rockett.
That helped seal a second successive British jump trainers’ title and Mullins scored a big Flat success with Ethical Diamond at the Breeders’ Cup, where Frankie Dettori rode at a major meeting for the last time.
But Mullins was denied a Cheltenham Gold Cup hat-trick with Galopin Des Champs as Inothewayurthinkin triumphed for Gavin Cromwell, while Golden Ace won a dramatic Champion Hurdle as both Constitution Hill and State Man fell.
In the Derby at Epsom, Lambourn provided trainer Aidan O’Brien with a record-extending 11th victory in the Classic.
