Five Arsenal players featured prominently for two-time champions England at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, with each contributing at the top of their game.
Our friends at Opta have selected some standout facts and stats for each of Leah Williamson, Beth Mead, Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and Michelle Agyemang, highlighting how important they were to the nations’ success.
Always on the front foot and recognising danger, captain Williamson won possession in the defensive third 24 times, five more than any other player at the tournament.
A special mention also goes to Lia Walti, who came sixth in that leaderboard with 15 wins of possession despite Switzerland being knocked out in the quarter-finals.

Up top, Russo led all England players for goal involvements, with only Alexia Putellas registering more among all players. That’s because, although Russo only netted twice herself, including the all-important equaliser in the final against Spain, she also provided three assists for her teammates.
Again, she’s not the only Gunner in the top table, with Stina Blackstenius contribution to four Sweden goals, while Mariona Caldentey did the same for runners-up Spain.
EURO 2025 | Goals | Assists | Total |
Putellas, Alèxia | 3 | 4 | 7 |
Russo, Alessia | 2 | 3 | 5 |
Asllani, Kosovare | 2 | 3 | 5 |

Young Player of the Tournament Agyemang became just the third teenager to score more than once at a major tournament for England (men’s and women’s), after Michael Owen (1998 World Cup) and Wayne Rooney (EURO 2004).
