Alisha Lehmann says returning to England "feels like coming home" after completing a move to Leicester City.
The 27-year-old Swiss international spent six years in the Women's Super League with West Ham, Everton and Aston Villa before switching to Italian giants Juventus in 2024.
After a short spell at FC Como, the striker is back in the UK and determined to fire the Foxes up the Women's Super League table.
"It feels amazing and I'm so happy to be here," Lehmann stated. "It feels like a homecoming.
"Leicester are an amazing club. They want to push women's football forward.
"What makes me happy in life is football. It's not about where I live or the climate I'm in, but playing because we have one career, and I want to make the most out of it."
Having spent time away from the UK, Lehmann hopes her experiences can benefit her new team-mates.
"In every country, football is so different," she said. "You meet new people and learn different things about football. I learned a lot and played with some great players.
"I hope I can bring my experience to the team but also learn a lot from them. I hope we can be successful, and enjoy the winning mentality.
"It's amazing to be the first women's Swiss player for the club – I'm going to have to bring some Swiss cheese and food in for my team-mates!"
