When Wiegman named Agyemang in the squad, she said the Arsenal forward could “bring something different” and she hoped she could show it in Switzerland.
She impressed on loan at Brighton this season and Agyemang has been on Wiegman’s radar for a few years, having progressed through England’s youth teams.
Agyemang appears calm in front of the cameras and mature beyond her years – but on the pitch she causes chaos.
“I remember the first time she played because she flattened me in training. I was too slow on [the ball],” England captain Leah Williamson said last month.
“I gave her a bit of stick about it, but in my head I thought: ‘You need to move the ball quicker, because she’s got something about her.’
“My first impression was that she let me know she was there, which I love.”
Agyemang wants to be a “unique player” and is striving for consistency, wanting to make an impact “from minute one to the end”.
She takes inspiration from club-mate Alessia Russo and Chelsea forward Lauren James, who is “one of the most technically gifted players” she has seen.
But there is one trait Agyemang is already becoming known for – her strength.
“She just runs into people and bodies them because she’s so strong,” said Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze.
“She’s so sweet and unassuming as a person, but then on the pitch she’s probably one of my favourites to play against because I can run into her dead hard!
“She likes to give it back. She’s been told [by Wiegman] that she needs to go a little bit easier but I said: ‘No, just keep it up Micha, I prefer it, it makes it harder for us.'”
