England striker Michelle Agyemang has been named as Euro 2025’s young player of the tournament.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 19-year-old Arsenal forward played only 138 minutes of the competition in Switzerland and did not start a single match.<\/p>\n

However she was crucial to the Lionesses’ run to retaining their European title<\/a> with a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final in Basel.<\/p>\n

Agyemang had scored late equalisers against Sweden in the quarter-final and Italy in the semis to keep Sarina Wiegman’s side in contention.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Spain midfielder and Ballon d’Or holder Aitana Bonmati was named player of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Bonmati came off the bench in the world champions’ opening two games, having been taken to hospital with viral meningitis shortly before the tournament.<\/p>\n

However, the 27-year-old however grew in influence, scoring the winner against Germany in the semi-final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
