Leicester City sign Swiss international forward Lehmann | OneFootball

Leicester City have completed the signing of Swiss international forward Alisha Lehmann on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Foxes this afternoon.

The 26-year-old attacker joins Leicester City off the back of a short spell with Italian Serie A Women Athora club Como. The player spent the first half of the season with The Blues.

Lehmann started her senior career with BSC Young Boys Frauen before spending time in the English game with West Ham United, Everton and Aston Villa. The forward moved to Italy in 2024 where she joined Juventus. She won the league title and Coppa Italia with The Black and Whites before signing for Como last summer.

On the international stage, Lehmann has been capped by Switzerland on 65 occasions while she has scored 10 goals for her country.

After joining Leicester City, Lehmann said “It feels amazing and I’m so happy to be here. It feels like a homecoming, coming back to England, and I’m really happy.

“Leicester is an amazing club. I’ve seen the training ground and, of course, the stadium. They want to push women’s football forward.”

Lehmann will be available for selection once the necessary international clearance has been received.
