England forward Michelle Agyemang has been nominated for the Women’s Kopa Trophy as part of this year’s Ballon d’Or awards.
The 19-year-old Arsenal striker spent last season on loan at fellow Women’s Super League side Brighton, where she scored five goals in 22 appearances.

However, she became a household name at this summer’s Euro 2025 after scoring equalisers against Sweden and Italy in the knockout stages of the competition and was named Young Player of the Tournament.
Agyemang’s stellar summer continued on Thursday, when she was named as one of five players in contention for the Women’s Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best under-21 female footballer.
The remaining Ballon d’Or nominees are set to be announced later on Thursday.
