The UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 is nearly here, and England’s squad is stacked with experience, talent, and tournament pedigree. But every major tournament also presents an opportunity — a chance for younger or emerging players to break through and make their mark.
Here are three players who could be key for the Lionesses this summer if they get the game time they deserve. These aren’t just exciting prospects — they’re potential game-changers.
Grace Clinton – The Engine
Grace Clinton has been turning heads all season. A powerful, tireless box-to-box midfielder, Clinton is the kind of player every tournament team needs. She presses hard, covers ground, and links defence to attack with energy and intelligence.
She may not be the most high-profile name in the squad yet, but she’s got the tools to influence games at the highest level.
Why we need to watch her:
Clinton doesn’t stop running — literally. Her work rate, timing, and physicality could offer something very different in the middle of the park. If she gets on the pitch regularly, she’ll be hard to ignore.
Jess Park – The Wizard
When Jess Park has the ball at her feet, anything can happen. Her quick feet, creativity, and confidence in tight spaces make her one of the most exciting young players in the England setup. She’s not just flair — she can pick passes, beat defenders, and shift momentum.
She hasn’t always had the minutes at international level, but that could change in Switzerland.
Why we need to watch her:
Park brings something no one else in the squad quite does — a touch of magic. In a tournament where one moment can decide everything, she could be England’s spark off the bench or even from the start.
Aggie Beever-Jones – The Goal Hunter
Aggie Beever-Jones has had a fantastic club season and is arriving at the Euros full of confidence. A natural goal scorer with great movement, sharp instincts, and no fear, she knows where the goal is — and she’s not shy about finding it.
While she’s still young and relatively untested on the big stage, her eye for goal could give England something different up front.
Why we need to watch her:
She doesn’t need five chances to score. Beever-Jones is a poacher with technique — and if England need goals late in games, she might just be the perfect weapon to call on.
We know how strong and settled England’s squad is. Sarina Wiegman doesn’t tend to rotate much once the tournament kicks off — which is why getting game time won’t be easy for players like Clinton, Park, and Beever-Jones.
But football is about moments, and sometimes the players with the least to lose bring the biggest impact.
If these three get their chance, they could be the ones we’re all talking about by the end of the tournament.
