‘Not just TikToks’ – Alisha Lehmann hits back at critics and explains decision to swap Como for Leicester

Regarding her brief spell in Italy, the attacker was candid about why she swapped the Mediterranean for the East Midlands. “I signed a long-term deal in Como but after a month I realised I didn’t like it and wanted to return to England,” she explained. Having previously spent six years representing West Ham, Everton, and Aston Villa, the Women’s Super League clearly held a special appeal. “I love it here, the football is better and England feels like home to me,” she noted, confirming her desire to bring her experience of over 100 top-flight matches back to the division.
