It is impossible not to highlight teenage striker Michelle Agyemang, who has made such a big impression in a small amount of time.

The 19-year-old may only have five caps for England, making her debut in April, but she has already scored three memorable goals and played a pivotal role in England retaining their European title.

If she continues on her current trajectory she will be pushing Alessia Russo for a starting spot – although may have to displace her at club level first, with both playing for Arsenal. Wiegman could also consider playing them together.

Another of England’s most exciting young talents is Grace Clinton, who has long been tipped to become a regular starter for her country following her impressive displays at club level.

The 22-year-old Manchester United midfielder was given a starting role in the absence of the injured Georgia Stanway earlier this year, while Wiegman showed how much she trusted Clinton at Euro 2025 by using her as a substitute in all except the game against Wales, bringing her on in every knockout match when results were in the balance.

Wiegman has been loyal to Keira Walsh and Stanway in midfield but they did not have as great an impact in Switzerland as at previous tournaments and Clinton could be the one to break up the partnership.

Like Agyemang and Clinton, highly rated striker Aggie Beever-Jones, midfielder Jess Park and defender Maya le Tissier were also at their first major tournament. With two years’ more experience come the World Cup in Brazil, they might be handed much greater roles.

Manchester United captain Le Tissier, 23, has often been overlooked by Wiegman but continues to impress at club level, and it is in defence where England might make the biggest changes having not fully convinced in Switzerland where they conceded seven goals in six matches.

While captain Leah Williamson and Bronze have been permanent fixtures in defence, the other centre-back role and left-back have been problem positions, and the manager will hope first-choice candidates emerge to create a consistent back four.

At this summer’s Euros Wiegman blended youth with experience, but there is plenty to be done over the next two years to develop some of those young players into starters at international tournaments.

Other defenders who might push the current regulars include Washington Spirit’s Esme Morgan, 24, who made one start at Euro 2025, while Aston Villa’s Lucy Parker, 26, and Tottenham’s Ella Morris, 22, are both uncapped but had England call-ups in the past year.
