Arsenal striker Michelle Agyemang has joined Brighton on loan for the upcoming season.

Agyemang was one of England’s heroes at Euro 2025 as the Lionesses retained their European crown.

Agyemang spent last season on loan at Brighton, scoring five goals in 22 appearances to earn a nomination for the Women’s Super League Rising Star award.

The striker has now rejoined the Seagulls on loan after holding talks with Arsenal about what would be best for her development.

Agyemang would face fierce competition at Arsenal for minutes after the Gunners completed the signings of Chloe Kelly and Olivia Smith.

“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,” said Arsenal’s director of women’s football Clare Wheatley.

“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.”

Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic added: “We are thrilled to welcome Michelle back for another season. 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.”
