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.
Her England team-mate Hannah Hampton has been nominated for the Yachine Trophy, given to the best women's goalkeeper.
The 24-year-old was ever-present for Chelsea last season and was a key cog in the Lionesses' Euros victory, where she made two brilliant saves in England's penalty shoot-out win against Spain in the final.
Myles Lewis-Skelly was also among the nominees for the men's Kopa Trophy after enjoying a breakout season with Arsenal.
The remaining Ballon d'Or nominees are set to be announced later on Thursday.

Mikel Arteta's been told all about Viktor Gyokeres' behaviour by Arsenal star's old team-mates
Viktor Gyokeres' ex-coaches and team-mates have had plenty to say over time about Arsenal's summer signing ahead of his Premier League debut later this month against Manchester United Arsenal have been told exactly what to expect from Viktor Gyokeres as their marquee summer signing prepares for his competitive debut for his new club. Mikel Arteta's side – runners-up in the last three Premier League campaigns – hope the Swedish striker will be the missing piece of the jigsaw following his £63.7million move from Sporting CP. He became one of the most feared strikers in Europe during his two years in Lisbon. It has been a remarkable journey for the 27-year-old, who was playing Championship football with Coventry City just over two years ago following some underwhelming loan spells. Few of those who worked with him in the early part of his career thought he would go on to achieve what he has. But those who have worked with him over the years have cited his steely focus, dedication and hatred of losing, which will be music to the ears of everyone at Arsenal, given their occasional habit of folding at the high-pressure moments. Gyokeres' competitive spirit doesn't just extend to football. According to one of his former youth coaches, Peter Kisfaludy, a game of tennis with then-girlfriend Amanda Nilden – also a footballer – led to a fallout. Kisfaludy, who describes Gyokeres as a 'Swedish Orient Express', told The Sun:"They went on holiday to Spain and she is really good at table tennis. They also had a game of tennis and she won so they did not speak for two days. They are both really bad losers.' With that in mind, we take a look at what others have also said about Gyokeres' behaviour. 'Not a natural finisher' His first taste of English football was at Brighton, whose manager, Chris Hughton, didn't view him as a natural finisher. Hughton said: 'He wasn't the type that you think will have one or two chances and he'll put one of them away. But you knew he would always get chances. "You knew he would because he always put himself in a position to get them. If you asked me then, would I see him as a player that would play at one of the top clubs in the Premier League, then I would have to say probably no, more than yes.' Hughton added: "He was a bright lad. Probably because of where he came from, his English was very good, which I think helped. He was a very mature lad for a young one. He was a confident lad. I think he had a strong belief in his own abilities. "If you're a No. 9 going to Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, one thing you know is you're going to get lots of chances. I don't think it will faze him." 'Similar to Kane' Like Harry Kane before breaking through at Tottenham, Gyokeres had a series of loan spells while at Brighton, with stints at St Pauli in Germany, Swansea and Coventry. Ryan Bennett, who played with Gyokeres at Swansea and Kane at Norwich, said: "There are big similarities for me between Viktor and Harry Kane. "Viktor did not make many starts for us and was not at Swansea long and he was a bit sluggish, although he did have a good mentality and was determined to succeed. "When I was at Norwich, Harry came to us on loan and did not play much, so went back to Spurs. Later on, when I played against Spurs and Harry was in the team, it was like defending against a different player. "It was the same with Viktor after he left Swansea. I played against him after he had moved to Coventry and his power had developed, his mindset was different and he was more aggressive. Like Harry, he has turned into a really top player.' 'Throwing his toys out of the pram' A permanent move to Coventry gave Gyokeres' career lift off following an initial loan spell, which saw him struggle to hold down a regular first-team place. Sky Blues midfielder Ben Sheaf told The Athletic:"When he came, he was in and out of the team and showed glimpses of quality. 'He signed permanently after the first loan, and he came back having put more muscle on and was even more physical. "He was relentless with how much he practised. He'd do a lot of finishing drills after training. I remember once in training, we did 11-v-11, and the ball got thrown into him when I was playing against him. "He pinned and rolled me, and I just couldn't do anything about it. That was the first time I remember thinking, 'Blimey, this is what opposition teams are going to feel.' That was the first time I felt his physicality." His competitive nature was evident as he threw his 'toys out of the pram' on occasions. Sheaf recalled: "He was always ultra-competitive in training. He'd throw his toys out of the pram if we didn't win a small-sided game. "He's a serious guy until you get to know him and he opens up. He's a good lad but he'd be arguing in training, always wanting to win.' One of the biggest influences on Gyokeres' career was his manager at Coventry, Mark Robins – now the boss of Stoke City. He described the Swede as 'robotic', adding: 'He's metronomic with his timing, with his tempo, with everything that he did. That, in a nutshell, was why he did so well in that relatively short space of time and again, why he's gone on to do other things.' Celebration respect It seems Gyokeres can give it out as well as take it, judging by his reaction to Gabriel mimicking his goal celebration – interlocking his fingers to cover his face, inspired by DC Comics villain Bane – during Sporting's Champions League defeat at the Emirates last season. Far from taking offence, Gyokeres responded with a cheeky Instagram post, sharing a picture of himself performing the celebration with the caption: "Always with respect." The pair can now look forward to performing the celebration together during what Arsenal hope will be a title-winning season, starting at Manchester United next Sunday.

‘Cut that part' – Chelsea legend Eden Hazard reveals he was huge fan of Blues' rivals before becoming their tormentor
EDEN HAZARD may be a Chelsea legend and one of their greatest ever players, but he started life as a fan of one of their biggest rivals. The retired ace, 34, admitted in an interview that he grew up watching the Blues' London rivals Arsenal. 2 Hazard is remembered fondly by the Stamford Bridge faithful, not least for his efforts against Arsenal. The winger tormented the Gunners in his final ever game for Chelsea, scoring twice and setting up a third as Chelsea thrashed Arsenal 4-1 in the 2019 Europa League final. Some small part of Hazard may have been conflicted when turning the likes of Nacho Monreal and Laurent Koscielny inside out, given his history as an Arsenal fan at heart. In an interview with streamer Zack Nani, Hazard remembered growing up watching the Gunners as a huge fan of Thierry Henry. He said: "I knew Chelsea because of [Didier] Drogba and all that. You know, [Nicolas] Anelka and all, those are the people I liked. "But it wasn't the club of my dreams. I'm telling you now, people know it. "I was a Real [Madrid] fan and a Thierry Henry fan. So I originally liked Arsenal. I grew up with the Gunners." Quickly joking: "We'll cut that in the editing." 2 Hazard certainly didn't show his love for Arsenal during his playing days, regularly terrifying their defence. In fact, there is no team that the 126-time Belgium international has scored more goals against in his entire career. Chelsea fans LOVE Eden Hazard's reaction as Blues legend is pranked by barber with Tottenham shirt He netted a total of seven times when facing the North Londoners. Hazard retired in 2023 after an unsuccessful switch to his other boyhood dream club, Real Madrid. The winger landed a switch to the Bernabeu worth a whopping £130MILLION, but failed to impress in Spain. Across four seasons with Los Blancos, Hazard made just 76 appearances - scoring only seven goals and registering 12 assists.

Arsenal told it's time to sell £45m star Mikel Arteta pushed for after £204m transfer spree
Arsenal have not been afraid to splash the cash this summer but it has left a few players nervously keeping their eyes on their futures at the Emirates Stadium for the coming campaign Arsenal have been told that they should bid a fond farewell to Gabriel Jesus this summer by Gunners icon Alan Smith. The Brazilian striker has endured a rollercoaster stint at the Emirates following a £45m move from Manchester City. Jesus, 28, has scored 26 goals in 96 appearances in all competitions. But his time as a Gunner has been decimated by injuries - a serious injury prematurely curtailing his season last term. And Smith now believes the time is now right for the striker to be moved on, especially following the big-money arrival of former Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres. Speaking to Metro, the former Arsenal man said: 'I think somebody like Gabriel Jesus might go given his track record with injuries. 'He might be one that you say, thanks, and try and move him on, get a bit of money in. Obviously, with Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz, there might not be too many opportunities for him this season.' And while Smith believes this summer might be the right time to go separate ways with Jesus, he has urged Mikel Arteta to keep hold of wingers Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli despite reported interest in Eberechi Eze and Rodrygo. He added: 'I would be tempted to keep Leandro Trossard because he's a versatile player who's done well and scored important goals. I don't think you'd want to lose him. And the same with Martinelli actually – he didn't have the best of seasons, but I think you definitely want to keep him.' Jesus has already spoken out on his future at Arsenal. Speaking in January, he suggested that he was not ready to admit defeat in his attempts to become the Gunners' main man in attack. He said: 'I keep working and everyone at the club can tell how I work every day, not just me but everyone. I don't give up and it is not easy to play for a big club like Arsenal. Now I can score and I am very happy - I want to keep scoring to help the team.' As it stands, it appears unlikely that a summer exit will be on the cards for Jesus. He is expected to be sidelined for some time yet as he continues his recovery from his knee injury. Jesus remains under contract in North London until the summer of 2027. Arsenal get their new season underway next weekend as they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
