West Ham United Women can confirm that Alisha Lehmann has completed a permanent transfer to Aston Villa. The Swiss international joined the Hammers in 2019 and made 42 appearances in the Women's Super League, scoring nine goals. She was a popular figure among the West Ham fans and played a key role in the club's FA Cup run last season, which saw them reach the semi-finals. However, Lehmann has now decided to move on in search of regular first-team football.

She is the most followed women's football player on social media, with over 11 million followers on Instagram.

Aston Villa will be hoping that Lehmann can help them improve on their eighth-place finish in the WSL last season.
