'Feel so happy' – Alisha Lehmann reacts to first competitive Juventus goal after transfer from WSL side Aston Villa

Alisha Lehmann feels "so happy" after registering her first competitive goal for Juventus since completing a transfer from Aston Villa.

WHAT HAPPENED?
The Swiss forward bid farewell to British football and the WSL when completing a switch to Italy. She has been followed to Turin by Brazilian boyfriend Douglas Luiz, who is also now on the Bianconeri’s books after severing ties with Villa.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Lehmann spent a large chunk of her summer following Luiz around the United States during the 2024 Copa America, while also taking in Euro 2025 qualification action with her country. She is now fully adjusted to life in Italy, as a new challenge is embraced.
DID YOU KNOW?
The 25-year-old wasted little time making her mark during pre-season, as she settled quickly among new team-mates, and is now up and running on the goal front in Serie A after finding the target in a crushing 6-2 victory over Sassuolo.

WHAT NEXT?
Lehmann has said of opening her account: “I feel so happy for the 3 points and to score my first goal for @juventuswomen. Thanks to all the fans for travelling and supporting us, Forza Juve.” She will be back in action on Saturday when Juventus take in a friendly date with a Lyon side that includes the likes of former Ballon d’Or Feminin winner Ada Hegerberg and USWNT captain Lindsey Horan.
