"Beauty Outshines the Score": World's Most Beautiful Female Footballer Returns to England, Draws Huge Crowds

Recently Transferred from Italy to the English League
Top-Tier Influence with 15.9 Million Social Media Followers
Key Challenge as a Player: Consistent Appearances and Performance

Alicia Lehmann, 27, widely known by the nickname "The Sexiest Footballer in the World," is once again drawing attention as she returns to the English women's football scene.

According to reports from the British Daily Mail and other foreign media outlets on January 29, Swiss women's national team forward Lehmann recently transferred to Leicester City in the English Women's Super League (WSL) and played her first match in England. Lehmann made her return debut as a substitute in the second half of the league match against West Ham on January 26, but her team lost 1-2.

Lehmann is one of the most influential online figures among female footballers worldwide, regardless of her on-field performance. She has approximately 15.9 million Instagram followers and about 11.8 million TikTok followers, numbers that rival some male football stars. This level of influence is considered a valuable asset for both clubs and the league. Matches in which Lehmann either plays or is listed on the bench tend to see increases in both on-site attendance and online viewership, and she is actually regarded as a "box office icon" within the WSL. Advertising contracts with jewelry and sports brands also form a significant part of her income structure as a player.

Lehmann has long been recognized as more than just a celebrity. She has consistently been called up to the Swiss national team, playing as a winger and second striker, with speed, one-on-one dribbling, and off-the-ball movement cited as her strengths. However, her recent season performance has not met expectations. In the Italian league, her playing opportunities were limited, with only three starts, and her attacking contributions noticeably declined. This drop in performance and reduced role are analyzed as direct reasons behind her decision to return to England.

The move to Leicester City is clearly a "turning point" for Lehmann. Although she started as a rotational option in the attacking line, her versatility to play both on the wing and up front is something the coaching staff values. If she can secure consistent playing time, it is believed that both her league performance and personal form can recover. In particular, the WSL is considered the European women's league with the highest tactical sophistication and intensity. Success on this stage could mark a pivotal moment that propels Lehmann's career upward once again. Meanwhile, Lehmann recently made headlines for her public relationship with a new partner following her breakup with fellow footballer Douglas Luiz. However, local media emphasized, "What Lehmann needs now is not off-field issues, but convincing performances on the pitch."
