Aston Villa Women’s star Alisha Lehmann has once again condemned the sexist abuse she receives on social media as a female footballer embracing her life off the pitch.
The 24-year-old forward, formerly of West Ham, has helped Villa to climb to fifth in the Women’s Super League, scoring four goals and setting up two more this season across 20 appearances to cut herself an impressive prospect in the English top-flight.
But the Swiss international has become almost more well known via her social media presence. The former West Ham and Everton player has steadily accrued a following of 13million on Instagram and 7.8million on TikTok, making her the most-followed female footballer on the planet and eclipsing Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer in follower count.
