Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic said: '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.'
Agyemang, during her first spell with the Seagulls, was called into Sarina Wiegman's squad for the first time in April, scoring 41 seconds into her debut as a substitute against Belgium.
She scored five goals in 22 appearances for Brighton across all competitions last season.
Arsenal director of women's football Clare Wheatley said: '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.
'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.'

Man Utd identify Carlos Baleba transfer alternative available in cut-price deal
Brighton have yet to budge on their asking price for Carlos Baleba and this could leave Manchester United turning their attention to more affordable midfield targets Sevilla star Lucien Agoume is the latest name to be linked with Manchester United as the Red Devils seek out cheaper alternatives to Carlos Baleba. United appear unwilling to meet Brighton's nine-figure asking price for Baleba, having already splashed £200million this summer. Earlier this week, it emerged that Morten Hjulmand and Adam Wharton were both being considered, though neither would be straightforward signings. Sporting Lisbon want big money to allow Hjulmand to reunite with Ruben Amorim, while Palace may decide they can't afford to lose Wharton if his team-mates Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi also leave this month. According to reports in Spain (via Sport Witness), Agoume has a release clause worth just under £35m and might be available for even less than that. Other, unnamed Premier League clubs are also said to be in the mix, though one-time suitors Arsenal are unlikely to return for the Frenchman after previous links, having landed Martin Zubimendi in July. Agoume joined Sevilla from Inter Milan in a cut-price deal in 2024, and was a regular last season as the team narrowly escaped relegation from La Liga. He was also part of the French side which reached the semi-finals of the Under-21 Euros, playing in all but one of their matches and captaining the side against Poland. While Profit and Sustainability Rules make a move for Baleba unlikely this summer, a cheaper option such as Agoume could be the answer. However, much may still depend on sales elsewhere. United have signed off on loan exits for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Toby Collyer, but are still working on permanent exits for some other players. Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are among those who could yet leave, though United and Chelsea remain at odds over a valuation for the former. There are also questions in the goalkeeper position, as links with Gianluigi Donnarumma persist. The arrival of the Italian might rely on United selling Andre Onana, with Inter Milan said to be interested in bringing the Cameroonian back to the San Siro. Despite losing to Arsenal in their opening league game, United are looking at the positives after a tough end to last season. 'The group, for me, is just, I don't know, there's such a good vibe. We're all invested in something,' forward Joshua Zirkzee told club media. "You can really tell that we really want to make sure that we're not doing what we did last season. Also, outside the pitch, there's some good vibes. We're doing a lot of team bonding. I feel we're much closer than we were last season, and hopefully we can translate all of that onto the pitch and share it with you, you know, the rest of the world who's supporting United.'

World Cup provides launchpad as women's rugby prepares for liftoff
Back in the day there was a low-profile sport called women's rugby union. Few people went to watch, the media seldom took an interest and the world's top players were enthusiastic amateurs. Anyone predicting Twickenham would one day be packed to the rafters for a standalone women's fixture would have been dismissed as crazy. And now? There is a different sport in town. It is simply known as rugby and now more than ever it belongs to both sexes. Next month's World Cup final, accordingly, has attracted a full house in excess of 80,000 and a huge global television audience. And if all goes to plan the Lionesses will not be the only female sporting queens adorning teenage bedroom walls in England. The Red Roses may or may not be crowned world champions at the end of September but public interest in them is about to soar. The organisers report that 375,000 tickets have been bought before the tournament has even kicked off. Given the entire 2017 competition in Belfast attracted 45,412 people at an average of 1,514 spectators per game, the step change has been remarkable. Little wonder World Rugby's leading officials cannot wait for the 2025 edition to commence. 'It's going to be an amazing tournament,' says Alan Gilpin, the governing body's chief executive. 'We knew when we took the decision to take the 2025 Rugby World Cup to England that it was going to be the right market at the right time. The Lionesses have given us a little reminder of what that means. The movement behind women's sport, particularly in England and across the UK is significant. People are really excited about it.' Because, as Gilpin notes, the next few weeks have the potential to refresh rugby in all its guises. At men's internationals there is usually a more traditional, crustier demographic. Starting with England's opening game against the United States in Sunderland, this tournament is going to hit differently. 'Younger audiences, younger ticket purchasers, a younger TV audience … I think it's going to show a different face of rugby to the UK audience,' says Gilpin. As those of us lucky enough to be present in New Zealand in 2022 can testify, there is also another important ingredient. The number of truly competitive female teams may still be fewer than on the men's side but the style of play is arguably even more marketable. Less meat-head physicality and mindless kicking, more high-class skills, more space in which to run … for novices and connoisseurs alike the games can be hugely watchable. For a prime example have a look back at the breathless finale between England and New Zealand in Auckland three years ago. It may be that England would have won had Lydia Thompson not been sent off in the first half for a high tackle. But what no one could possibly dispute was the quality of the Black Ferns' counterattacking game, their pace, their ability to exploit space and their willingness to take a calculated risk or two. Helped in no small part by the enlightened coaching of the great Wayne Smith and the vastly experienced Sir Graham Henry, New Zealand confounded expectations to win 34-31. Even more important, perhaps, was the feelgood atmosphere at Eden Park on that clear, dry November day. Happy families, compelling new role models, spectacular sport … it was a tantalising vision of just how inclusive the traditionally staid world of rugby could be. And therein lies the real opportunity of the next five weeks. Kate Zackary, the captain of England's first-up opponents, the USA, has already underlined precisely what is at stake. 'This Rugby World Cup isn't just about us,' the back-rower said as the squad began preparations for England 2025. 'We want kids across the US to see this team and think: 'That could be me.' Rugby in America is growing, and we're here to kick that door wide open.' On and off the field there is a brighter future to be grasped, both by the sport more widely and the hosts in particular. 'Where sisterhood meets rivalry' is the tournament's slogan and the tag-line neatly reflects the friendly yet competitive vibe. Not that defeating the short-odds favourites will be remotely easy. New Zealand, France and Canada – probably in that order – loom as the major threats but the Red Roses' biggest enemy potentially lurks closer to home. By the knockout stage the pressure will be mounting and nagging doubts will be multiplying. It is necessary only to rewind to the men's World Cup in 2015 to be reminded that inflated expectations generated by home advantage can weigh heavily. So, yes, the Red Roses have greater depth than anyone else. Yes, the Rugby Football Union has spent millions of pounds on the squad's preparation while Canada, for example, have been resorting to crowdfunding. But what if jangling nerves ultimately undermine all that? What if they were to ambushed by, say, France in a tense Bristol semi-final? Let's just say a France v Canada final is not what the RFU ideally has in mind. Sign up to The Breakdown The latest rugby union news and analysis, plus all the week's action reviewed after newsletter promotion Even World Rugby freely acknowledges that England are destined to be the tournament's pivotal figures. 'That's not to say the Red Roses have to win for it to be successful because that's not true at all but we obviously expect them to be highly competitive,' says Gilpin. At stake if they lose, however, will be the tournament's carnival feel and, conceivably, the future funding structures of the entire women's game. What if England's long wait to replicate their triumph of 2014 – they have only ever conquered the world twice – is once more extended? It might even prompt all concerned – the RFU included – to wonder if committing millions to building fully professional programmes is absolutely necessary. Then again, let's be honest. England winning every game by 30 points or more may cause some to lose interest, too. For all the thrilling running of Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne, the midfield craft of Megan Jones, the relentless work-rate of Zoe Aldcroft and the all-round quality of their prop forwards Sarah Bern and Maud Muir, the Red Roses need to be pushed all the way. France only lost 43-42 on their last visit to Twickenham in April, while the Black Ferns are experts at peaking when it matters. Or could the combative Canadians emerge as the tournament's dark mooses? Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, it is similarly vital that teams further down the pecking order enjoy the experience. If Japan v Spain in York or Italy v Brazil in Northampton can attract decent attendances, the organisers will also be thrilled. Nor is an excessive number of one-sided blow-outs in anybody's interests. Gilpin acknowledges that 'the challenge for us all is how we drive investment in the women's game … we want the tournament to be even bigger and better in Australia in 2029' and that in this year's edition 'there will be some matches that are less competitive because, in some cases, there is obviously a disparity in experience, professionalism and investment.' In that regard the opening game between John Mitchell's England and the United States will be instructive given New Zealand put 79 points on the women's Eagles in May. The first night crowd at the Stadium of Light will be hoping for a closer contest, not to mention a glimpse of the American social media favourite Ilona Maher. But if the stars align for the hosts even the Lionesses may be temporarily outshone.
