Arsenal forward, Michelle Agyemang has rejoined Brighton & Hove Albion on a season-long loan.
Agyemang’s return to the Seagulls comes after a memorable summer in which she scored twice in four appearances for England as the Lionesses defended their UEFA Women’s Euro title.
Her equalising goals against Sweden and Italy in Quarter then Semi-Finals respectively eventually earned her the Young Player of the Tournament award, although Arsenal have subsequently sent her back to Brighton on another season-long loan after three goals and one assist in 2024-25 campaign.
Brighton Head Coach, Dario Vidosic is “thrilled” to welcome Agyemang back as he reflected on her progress last season and across the Euros.
“We loved working with her last year, and seeing how much she progressed as part of the squad.
“What she achieved during the summer with England was incredible but not surprising. She has the character, work ethic and relentless nature of a champion. As a club we’re incredibly proud of her.”
“She was a pivotal part of our record-breaking season last year and we’re excited for what this new season looks like with her in our attack.”
Arsenal’s Director of Women’s Football, Clare Wheatley added that the decision not to immediately integrate Agyemang into the Gunners’ first-team squad was development based.
“We’re so proud of Michelle’s achievements this summer and throughout her journey at Arsenal, from her first steps in our academy through to our first-team squad.
“After discussing closely with Michelle and her family, we have all agreed that this move will provide Michelle with a further opportunity to develop and grow, as she continues to progress as a young player and person.
“We wish Michelle every success at Brighton and look forward to welcoming her back to Arsenal at the end of her loan.”
