A striker who has played a total of 90 minutes across England’s five Euro 2025 matches has proven exactly that. She arrived at this summer’s tournament with a single international cap and has twice stopped the Lionesses crashing out in the most extraordinary of circumstances.
Her piano, bass and drums have had to take a backseat as her career has taken off. In 2021, she was still at school when she was selected as a ball girl at Wembley to watch Beth Mead score a hat-trick past Northern Ireland. It was an experience that stuck.
Their introductions against Sweden were instrumental in England coming from 2-0 down, Kelly providing two assists and Agyemang the equaliser. In the semi-final against Italy, Agyemang struck deep into stoppage time to earn an extra half hour’s breathing space, before Kelly scored the winner on the rebound after initially seeing her 119th-minute penalty saved.

Since then, she has signed permanent terms in north London after two goals and three assists in the second half of the WSL season. In the first half, she was so unhappy at Manchester City that she revealed she “felt like giving up football”.
“Confidence comes from within but from around you as well. The players I stand side by side with on the pitch breed confidence in each other. But I think a lot of self-taught definitely happens. The people you surround yourself with, my family is really important to me and breed a lot of confidence within me.”
“She comes on, a defender’s played 90 minutes and then they have to come up against Michelle,” Bronze says.

Agyemang makes a point of not modelling herself on any other striker. She is determined to be unique. Kelly, on the other hand, admitted her celebration after her dramatic winner on Tuesday night was inspired by Thierry Henry, posing with one hand on the corner flag.
Like Kelly, Agyemang is genuinely just delighted to be there, not hankering for a start just yet. She considers Wiegman “like a mum” and is grateful for the trust placed in her.
“She’s such a humble, lovely down-to-earth girl. I honestly couldn’t think of a nicer person and then Chloe’s attitude, sass, confidence. Chloe’s one of those players when she’s on the pitch, no matter what the moment of the game is, or how she’s feeling how the crowd is, no matter what, she’s going to push her shoulders back, big up her chest and she’s going to go for it.”
In Sunday’s final, England would prefer not to require another rescue act – but there are few other nations with such an armoury of talent on the bench.
