Alisha Lehmann Joins Leicester City: A Strategic Move for WSL Experience

Alisha Lehmann has made six appearances for Serie A club FC Como.

Leicester City, competing in the Women’s Super League, has officially signed Swiss forward Alisha Lehmann from FC Como on a two-and-a-half year contract.

The 26-year-old player joined Como, currently positioned fourth in Serie A, in August on a three-year deal following her time at Juventus.

Lehmann has previously represented several Women’s Super League teams, including West Ham, Everton, and Aston Villa.

In the January transfer window, Leicester City has focused on recruiting players with WSL experience, having already secured Ashleigh Neville from Tottenham, Rachel Williams from Manchester United, and Sarah Mayling on loan from Aston Villa.

With 64 caps for Switzerland, Lehmann’s accolades include winning the Serie A title with Juventus during the 2024-25 season.

While at West Ham, she was part of the squad that finished as runners-up in the 2018-19 Women’s FA Cup.

Lehmann is also recognized as the most-followed female footballer globally, boasting over 16 million followers on Instagram.

Additionally, she manages one of the 12 teams in the Baller League UK, a six-a-side football league featuring current and former professional players.
