Interview

Debutant Agyemang delighted to see dream come true

Michelle Agyemang achieved a lifelong dream at just 16 years of age on Sunday as she made her senior debut in our 4-0 victory over Leicester City.

The talented young striker has been named in a number of our matchday squads this season, before finally being handed her chance off the bench in the 82nd minute, replacing Lina Hurting.

“Honestly, it’s really surreal,” said Michelle in her post-match interview. “I’ve been here for so long and been waiting a while for for my debut and it was a really, really good experience to come on at this time and I wouldn’t want to do it at any other club but here.

“I think when they first called my name I was like ‘Really? Me?’, but honestly I can’t even describe it! It was an amazing feeling to be here and get on the pitch.”

Having joined our academy back in 2012 aged six, Michelle has grown up watching the likes of Kim Little, Jordan Nobbs and Leah Williamson, so it’s safe to say she’s loved every minute of being around the first-team this season.

“I think if I said everything I’ve picked up I’d be here for ages, but honestly, being around world-class players, international players, I’ve learnt so much every day and it’s a really good experience to be here.

“It’s been a dream of mine since the beginning (to play for Arsenal) and I’m so happy that I’ve got this opportunity now.”
