Published recently England footballer Michelle Agyemang, darts player Luke Littler and cricketer Davina Perrin have been named as finalists for the upcoming Young Sports Personality of the Year award. These three athletes have been honoured for their exceptional achievements over the previous year. Agyemang was instrumental as the Lionesses claim victory in Euro 2025, Littler claimed the world title for the maiden time, and Perrin surged to prominence with a historic innings. Littler claimed this honour in 2024 after his remarkable rise. The shortlisted athletes were unveiled on a popular morning radio program. The 2025 recipient will be revealed live on the prestigious sports ceremony show on the 18th of December. The ceremony will be aired from seven in the evening GMT. Michelle Agyemang Age: 19 Sport: Football Just three months after her senior team debut, Agyemang played a dramatic and decisive role in England's run to winning the Euros. She entered the fray to score vital last-gasp goals in both the quarter-final and semi-final. Her incredible contributions led to her being named the best young player at the Euros. Subsequently, she was awarded the Golden Girl award for the finest emerging star on the continent. She was also shortlisted for the Kopa Trophy for the planet's top young female footballer. Agyemang, who has been at Brighton in a temporary move from Arsenal, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in October. "Being on the shortlist for this honour is incredible," said Agyemang. "I thank God and I'm thankful for the support I've received from my inner circle and supporters." The Darts Prodigy Age: 18 Sport: Darts The year started for Littler in incredible form as - aged 17 - he became the youngest darts world champion in history. He secured a comprehensive triumph over Michael van Gerwen in the final. His subsequent victory at the World Matchplay made him only the fifth competitor to complete the prestigious three major tournament wins. And he wasn't finished there - his victory at November's Grand Slam of Darts meant he climbed to world number one for the maiden occasion. At 18, he is the youngest man to do so, breaking the previous record. "Being nominated for the honour once more is a massive accolade," stated Littler. "Winning last year was a special memory for me and I've had another amazing 12 months. I want to continue elevating darts." The Cricket Sensation Age: 19 Sport: Cricket Perrin is one of English cricket's most exciting young talents and burst into the spotlight with an remarkable and historic innings in August. Her brilliant 42-ball century in The Hundred is the quickest ever by an English female in T20s. It also stands as the equal third-quickest women's T20 century in a major league or full member T20 international. Perrin came in second place in the season's run tally and was named PCA Women's Young Player of the Year. "I'm deeply humbled to be named a finalist for the Young Sports Personality of the Year award," expressed Perrin. "It means a great deal. I hope it encourages more young females to get into cricket."
