      A-list celeb offered me £90k for night of passion, reveals ‘world’s sexiest footballer’ Aston Villa star Alisha Lehmann

      by

      ASTON Villa star Alisha Lehmann has revealed she turned down an Indecent Proposal – after a celebrity offered £90,000 for a night of love.The Swiss international – dubbed the “world’s sexiest footballer” – is one of the Women’s Super League’s highest-profile players.

      Aston Villa striker Lehmann is known as the world’s sexiest footballer
      Openly bisexual Lehmann joined Villa in 2021 after spells with West Ham and Everton.
      The 24-year-old striker was previously in a relationship with Swiss national teammate Ramona Bachmann before dating her Villa clubmate Douglas Luiz.
      She has now claimed an international A-lister offered her big money for sex while she was in America.
      The alleged scenario evokes the 1993 movie smash Indecent Proposal, where a billionaire stranger offers Demi Moore’s character $1million to spend a night with her.

      Lehmann made her revelations in the Dir Tea Talk podcast, hosted by German rapper Shirin David.
      She described the man as “internationally” famous but declined to name him.
      She recalled: “I was in Miami, my favourite place, and I met some friends at a club.
      “I got a message on my mobile, which I didn’t reply to, but the same person then messaged the bodyguard looking after me.

      “The texts came from a very well known person.  We had previously bumped into one another at an event.
      “The message said: ‘I will pay Alisha 100,000 Swiss francs to spend a night with her.’
      “But my answer was – no way! And just 100,000?”
      Lehmann claimed her bodyguard then received further messages, this time from the star’s agent, begging the footballer to accept his client’s offer.
      She added: “The crazy thing is that I still have his message on my phone.  It is a bit stupid.
      “Is it from a footballer? I cannot reveal his name.
      “But he is very, very well known on an international level.”
      Alisha, who regularly posts stunning pics to her 15.5million Instagram followers, makes no secret of the fact that she fancies both men and women.
      She is thought to be paid just £160,000 a year by Villa, but makes many times more from sponsorships thanks to her glam image.
      She poses in a variety of sexy outfits in her 2024 calendar – but insists her humble upbringing keeps her grounded.

      She says of growing up in a village: “We just played street football all day.
      “This makes me so humble.”

      Some sold for double the retail price on eBay
      The Manchester United star also revealed that she had been “fighting behind closed doors” and “trying to go through the correct channels” in a bid to find a solution.

      And on Monday morning, exactly 50 days after the World Cup final, they were finally put on sale.
      Three colour options – pink, green and yellow – were available to fans with ‘Earps 1’ on the back.

      Another two have both been sold for £159.99 and one has gone for £174.99.
      Earps took to Instagram on Monday evening to confirm that Nike will be putting more shirts on sale at retail price.

      Although England suffered a 1-0 defeat to Spain at the last hurdle, Earps came away from Australia with the Golden Glove.

      Watch England Lionesses hero get sent off for timewasting in FIRST HALF as Ian Wright blasts it as ’embarrassing’

      With the ball just inside Man City’s half, Greenwood took around 25 seconds to find the pass.
      But just as she went to take the kick, referee Emily Heaslip blew her whistle before giving the England Lioness a second yellow.
      Greenwood, who stood still in disbelief, did not receive a warning prior to her dismissal.
      And her team-mates were left furious as a result, with Laia Aleixandri, Jill Roord and Chloe Kelly booked for dissent.

      England legend Ian Wright took to social media to criticise the “embarrassing” officiating.
      He tweeted: “Embarrassing. They keep telling us about laws of the game but where is common sense! Why would she be wasting time??? Kmt.”
      Euro 2022 Golden Boot winner and Arsenal star Beth Mead agreed, adding: “Awful decision, never time wasting.”
      Meanwhile, WSL legend Casey Stoney branded the decision “ridiculous” and a “joke”, writing: “Possibly the most ridiculous red card I’ve ever seen. How to ruin a game @BarclaysWSL. Absolute joke!!!!!”

      Man City were leading the match against holding WSL Champions Chelsea 1-0 when they went down to 10 players.
      Kelly opened the scoring in spectacular style just seven minutes into the clash with an excellent strike from 25-yards out.
      England Lioness Lauren Hemp was sent off in the late stages after picking up a second yellow card.
      The first was for dissent, while the second followed a challenge on Lauren James.
      Chelsea went on to level the score in the sixth minute of added time through Guro Reiten.
      After the match, Man City boss Gareth Taylor claimed that Greenwood’s red card was a “gamechanger”.
      Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: “The gamechanger is Alex’s [Greenwood] red card. It changes everything.
      “It is frustrating, particularly when we seemed to have gone from here to here [one extreme to another] on dishing out those yellow cards.
      “It is a difficult one to take because the players were magnificent defending the box against some really physical, direct players. Then with Alanna [Kennedy] off the pitch we think Khiara [Keating] has pulled off the save at the vital moment [before Chelsea scored].

      “I’m so proud of the players. We were tremendous last week. This week was a different game. I spoke to Emma [Hayes] at the end and neither of us enjoyed that because those few decisions were a spoiler.
      “All we want to see is consistency. If that is going to happen in a game like that, then we need to see that applied across every game.”

      Man Utd 2 Arsenal 2: Cloe Lacasse scores dramatic late leveller to stop Gunners hitting unwanted record

      by

      CLOE LACASSE came to Arsenal’s rescue dashing Manchester United’s hopes of piling title pressure on the Gunners. Just as it looked as if Melvine Malard had sealed the win that would consign the visitors to a fourth loss on the bounce – Lacasse struck to claim a 2-2 draw.

      A result that will have come as a relief for the visitors with Sabrina D’Angelo’s penalty box howler gifting United a goal.
      As a footballing force that was once the most dominant in the women’s domestic game on these shores, Arsenal have been used to setting records.
      But tonight the holders of the most league title trophies wins – with 15 in their cabinet – almost fell to a fourth straight loss in the WSL for the first time.
      A new record that would have been notched up just a day after they announced a new three-year contract for boss Jonas Eidevall. 
      READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS
      This evening’s duel was the first time Alessia Russo returned to top-flight action against her old club since sealing a sensational summer switch to the London giants. 
      In the last clash between the rivals in April, the striker was the home fans’ darling bagging the winner that saw them do a league double over Arsenal.
      Ahead of the game, Leah Galton spoke of her wish to see United’s fans give their former star a warm welcome. 
      But the pantomime jeers that greeted the announcement of her name in Arsenal’s starting 11 showed there was fat chance of that.

      Chastened by his side’s shock home loss to Liverpool, Eidevall made six changes to his line-up.
      This included goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger replaced by Canada ace D’Angelo.
      And after weathering some early pressure the visitors took a 14th-minute lead with Russo involved in the build-up to Stina Blackstenius’ slotted finish. 
      The hosts looked to battle back with Geyse and Galton serving as their most dangerous threats in attack.
      And golden girl Galton got the crowd rocking by punishing D’Angelo’s dawdling to pinch the ball and net a close range 27th-minute finish.

      The second half saw the game become more end-to-end with Geyse slicing a shot inches wide of the post for United. 
      And Russo who cracked the post late on forced Mary Earps into a stunning save with her feet with a close range shot. 
      Super sub Malard punished another error at the back for Arsenal lifting the ball over D’Angelo for debut goal in the 81st minute. 
      But Lacasse’s injury-time leveller saw the Gunners escape with a point with a clash with Aston Villa up next. More

      The points are shared at the end of a thrilling Friday night WSL clash.
      Man Utd remain at the top of the table for now, but Marc Skinner will be disappointed that his side let three points slip.
      Meanwhile, it was an encouraging performance from Arsenal following last week’s defeat, but two mistakes cost them a potential win in the end.
      Thanks for reading, and goodnight!
      Marc Skinner reacts
      Speaking to Sky Sports, the Man Utd manager said: “The late equaliser does feel like a kick in the teeth because you have the three points won and then it becomes just one.
      “But I cannot be prouder of the players, they have only had eight days to work together as a collective.
      “Even Mal [Melvine Malard] when she comes on doesn’t really know how we move, how we approach certain situations, but she was fantastic. I thought the players gave everything, and I think that shows.
      “You’re not always going to win those sorts of games, they got the late goal today, we got one last week.
      “It was a top level game, something fans want to keep watching, and we always want to win. But I am proud of what the players have done in such a short space of time.”

      Jonas Eidevall reacts
      Speaking to Sky Sports at full time, the Arsenal boss said: “I think it’s really important to talk about two things. One is that we start with one XI, but we finish with another XI.
      “That is one of the things that I am most pleased with today. We finished the game much stronger than Manchester United did.
      “One change we have did this year is instead of presenting the starting XI first, we present the bench first. Because they are so important.
      “This is the tools we have to change things during the game and you guys are going to be really important for it. All players coming on today really showed that.”

      “It was a great performance, we showed a lot of character today and Cloe’s [Lacasse] goal rounded it off at the end. We are so happy for her, but also happy we got the point today.
      “It is always tough to come here and get a result, in the past we have always found it difficult to get points here. So it is a positive result for us.
      “We were disappointed in our performance last week, as a team and individuals, and we knew we needed to turn that around. As a club and a team we expect much better from ourselves. We did that all week in training and I think we showed that in our performance today.”

      Ten months in and already the London-born presenter has been constantly in demand.
      She flew to Australia reporting on the Women’s World Cup, Monaco for the Europa League draw and even hit up the Grammys, Baftas and Brit Awards red carpets.
      She’s graced the front covers of mags such as Grazia and Stylist and in her rare downtime holidays in Ibiza.
      Today, football fans know the former professional footballer as a knowledgeable pundit on BBC and Sky Sports.
      READ MORE ON ALEX SCOTT
      The beautiful game
      YET Scott made history as the first female pundit on Sky Sports Super Sunday and was the first female to commentate for the BBC at a Men’s World Cup.
      She has said football – and most importantly Arsenal – is in her blood, having signed for the Gunners in 1992 at the age of eight.
      Throughout her 26-year career, the 38-year-old played mostly for Arsenal in the Women’s Super League.

      She has said the sport was her ticket “to get on a plane and go to China” and that football allowed her to learn things about the world.
      Most read in Football
      Scott retired from the game in 2018 aged 34 after a glittering career which included playing in the squad for the 2012 London Olympics.
      Life after football
      IN 2016, she appeared on Bear Grylls’ ITV show, Mission Survive, which she won.
      And she said it was appearing on the show that ignited “a spark” about a world outside football and being ready for the “next chapter”.
      Scott had already established her media career while still playing football, appearing on programmes such as Soccer AM with other minor roles at BBC Sport, BT Sport and Sky Sports.
      She also graduated with a degree in Professional Sports Writing and Broadcasting from Staffordshire University while playing for Arsenal.
      She wrote a weekly women’s football column in the Morning Star newspaper and a column in The Independent during the 2014 World Cup.
      Today, Scott is a broadcaster with Match of the Day and Sky Sports.
      Outside of sports, she has participated in the ancestry research programme Who Do You Think You Are?
      In September 2019, she was a contestant on the 17th series of Strictly Come Dancing, paired with Neil Jones. The couple came fifth in the competition.

      Overcoming adversity
      IN 2022, Scott published her memoir “How (Not) To Be Strong” – it went on to become a Sunday Times bestseller.
      She candidly revealed she was beaten with a belt and talked honestly about the fear and terror she and her mum lived in lived with her now-estranged father.
      She said in an emotionally-charged interview on the BBC Women’s Hour Radio show that “all that money will go to help women”, declaring her income from the book sales would go to the women’s aid charity Refuge.
      Scott revealed to Steven Bartlett on his YouTube channel “The Diary of a CEO” that she had a speech impediment growing up and sought help with speech therapy.
      As a child growing up in a house where she witnessed domestic abuse, she disclosed it was easier not to speak – and that her mum didn’t know she had a problem.
      She said that even today there are certain things she can’t say such as cinnamon: “I have to re-word things or memorise scripts so I know that word coming up.”
      Scott also said on the Steven Bartlett podcast that as a result of falling into a daily pattern of drinking alcohol, she sought therapy.

      She puts her daily drinking habit in part down to the abuse she has received from social media trolls.
      Nowadays Scott keeps her private life just that – yet she does say she loves holidaying on her own and regularly jets off to Portugal to walk in nature.

      WHILE she will only say she is “dating” in her memoir, she revealed that she and team-mate Kelly Smith shared a house.
      The former couple were team-mates in America when they played for the Boston Breakers.
      They were together from 2005 to 2013… Scott said she fell “madly and deeply in love” with Kelly.
      Yet today Scott has not explicitly labelled her sexuality and has said she has been in relationships with both men and women.
      Currently, Scott is in a relationship with musician Jess Glynne.
      The Sun revealed the pair have been secretly dating for two months.
      On Tuesday night, the couple partied alongside David and Victoria Beckham at their exclusive Netflix documentary premiere after-party at The Twenty Two in West London.
      A friend said: “Alex and Jess have been a slow burn and they didn’t want to rush things or go public too soon.

      “But they’re officially an item now and seem really happy. They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect of their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.
      “It’s still early days for them, but they’ve met one another’s mates and everyone is super-happy for them.”
      At the 2022 World Cup, seven European nations announced they were asking their captains not to wear the pro-LGBTQ+ One Love armband.
      Scott wore the armband while reporting on the England vs Iran match on November 21 – despite the threat of sporting sanctions from Fifa.
      High honours
      SHE was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to football, taking her mum, grandmother and niece to her investiture at Buckingham Palace.
      Scott is a brand in her own right with paid associations with major names from jewellery brand Pandora to Garnier UK.
      Financial boffins are fuzzy when it comes to her net worth, citing it as somewhere between £1million and £4m.

      This year she was even awarded an Honorary Fellowship for invaluable contribution to the world of sport, social purpose and inclusion by Queen Mary University of London.
      We reckon we’ll be seeing a lot more of the talented and down-to-earth Scott in the future.
