Ebony Salmon, the 21-year-old striker who scored in that game against Germany.

While Salmon is yet to cement her place in Sarina Wiegman’s starting lineup, she has proved herself to be a more than capable option off the bench, and her goal against Germany will no doubt have done her prospects of starting at the Euros no harm.

With England’s attacking options looking relatively strong, it remains to be seen whether Salmon will get the chance to start at the Euros. However, even if she doesn’t, she is sure to be a key part of England’s squad, and could yet play a pivotal role in their quest to retain the trophy.

The English player has been in prolific form for Bristol City, scoring 15 goals in 22 appearances. Salmon also impressed during her brief cameo against Northern Ireland, setting up England’s second goal with a fine cross.

With England short of options in attack, Salmon could be a surprise inclusion in Sarina Wiegman’s squad for the Euros. The youngster has the raw talent to make an impact at the tournament, and her inclusion would add some much-needed pace and power to England’s front line.

Ebony Salmon, on the other hand, England’s leading goalscorer in the WSL this season with 12 strikes, is a name that continues to be linked with a spot in Wiegman’s side. She has impressed for Bristol City and, according to reports, is on the Dutch coach’s radar.

However, it remains to be seen whether Wiegman will take a gamble on Salmon, who is still relatively inexperienced at international level.

The player has been in prolific form for the Dash, finding the back of the net on eight occasions in just 11 starts. Salmon’s goalscoring exploits have helped Houston to third place in the NWSL standings, and her performances have not gone unnoticed by England boss Wiegman.

The England coach is currently finalising her squad for the upcoming She Believes Cup, and Salmon is said to be under consideration for a place in the team.

While Salmon is yet to be capped at senior level, her form in the NWSL suggests she could be ready to make the step up. And with England in need of goals, Salmon could be the perfect player to add to Wiegman’s squad.

Only time will tell if Salmon will be included in Wiegman’s team for the She Believes Cup, but her recent form suggests she could be a valuable addition to the squad.
