Alisha Lehmann wins two end of season awards despite playing just 415 minutes
Alisha Lehmann has collected two end of season awards with Leicester City despite playing just 415 minutes of action after joining in January.
Lehmann started the 2025/26 season with Como in Serie A, signing a three-year deal after moving from Juventus.
She did not make a single start, however, and afterr being left out of the squad, she completed a move to Leicester and sealed a two-and-a half-year contract mid-season.
The former West Ham and Aston Villa forward only made five starts and nine total appearances for the Foxes in the Women's Super League but received recognition for her contributions.

As announced by Leicester on @LCFC_Women, the 27-year-old won the Goal of the Season for her strike against Aston Villa but also picked up the supporters’ choice for Player of the Season.
The award was entirely fan-voted, with Lehmann, one of the most famous female footballers in the world with 15.5 million Instagram followers, coming out on top.
The victory for the Switzerland international comes despite Lehmann losing every game she played for Leicester, who were relegated from the WSL and winning just two games out of 21.
The team suffered similar misery to the men's side and scored just 11 goals in the league.
Their final game of the season takes place on Saturday 16 May when they travel to Everton.
The post confirming Lehmann's win, which came alongside Shannon O'Brien claiming the Players' Player of the Season, accrued 1.9 million views on X.
As well as her footballing exploits, Lehmann also lucrative brand deals with the likes of PRIME, EA Sports FC and Tezenis. She added another revenue stream by signing up to Fanvue, an AI platform which will give her behind-the-scenes access to her life away from the pitch.
In March, Lehmann responded to criticism of the lavish lifestyle she lives - which often leads to negative comments on social media.
"People don't see the work that I put in," she told the BBC.
"They think I just train and then go home to make TikToks - it's not true.
"I'm very professional. I always give everything on the pitch and I want to be the best. If I've not done my best when I check my data after training, I will do extra rounds to try to improve.
"People can think what they want but everything I do is focused on being the best player I can be."
She was previously in a relationship with Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz and the two joined Juventus at the same time.
In January, Lehmann went public with her relationship with semi-professional footballer and Baller League star Montell McKenzie.
