Aston Villa have their Alisha Lehmann replacement as WSL side snap up Lionesses star following Swiss forward's departure for Juventus

Following Lehmann's move to the Italian giants, following on from boyfriend Douglas Luiz signing for the Serie A team, Villa have swooped for England international Robinson. According toThe Athletic, the 21-year-old will join Villa ahead of the new Women's Super League season following the expiration of her Brighton contract at the end of June.

Villa are experiencing a big summer of change after manager Carla Ward stepped down from her role at the end of the season and, arguably, their most well-known player in Lehmann has left, too. Now, it will be up to Robinson and her new team-mates to try and improve on their seventh-place finish in the league last term.

Robinson joined Brighton from Bristol City in 2020 and went on to score 10 goals in 69 appearances for the WSL outfit. She made her England debut in November 2022, was part of the Lionesses squad that made the 2023 World Cup final, and has five international caps to her name to date.

Robinson will link up with her new Villa team-mates later on this summer, with the 2024-25 WSL season getting underway on September 21. Dutchman Robert de Pauw will lead them for the upcoming campaign after taking over the reins late last month.
