BRIEFS ENCOUNTER ‘World’s sexiest footballer’ Alisha Lehmann drops major hint over second career in modelling after lingerie shoot

Even Roger Federer hasn't served up as big a presence on Instagram as Alisha Lehmann, who is Switzerland's top sporting influencer.

Alisha Lehmann says it's important to 'feel good'

She was delighted with these 'really beautiful' pictures

Now the striker's following could soar further - after she revealed she is keen to do more lingerie modelling.

Lehmann had raised her profile on the pitch even further last summer when she made a unique piece of transfer history.

The 26-year-old and boyfriend Douglas Luiz both switched from Aston Villa to Juventus.

Unfortunately Luiz has struggled for a regular start with the men's team, while Lehmann is currently out injured for the women's side.

But off the field she's made great strides - with a possible second career beckoning.

Lehmann attracted more than 500,000 Instagram likes when she shared a photoshoot with underwear brand Tezenis ahead of Valentine's Day.

Now she's confirmed she'd love to take it further - with more such glamour roles.

Lehmann told 20 minutes: "We really worked together well and had a great shoot.

"We were able to take some really beautiful pictures. I'm happy!"

Lehmann - regularly called "the world's sexiest footballer" - then revealed some of her inner, winner, linger-ie secrets.

The former West Ham player said: "For a woman who is confident and wants to show that she is confident, it is important that she feels good.

"And this lingerie is really very comfortable.

What I also like is that it is underwear that every woman can wear.

"No matter what her body type is. I really like wearing it myself."

Lehmann's followers appeared delighted with her news in briefs.

And one described her as the "the most beautiful footballer of all time".

That's quite a statement for the "beautiful game".

And not many fans engaged with that argument.

But plenty made a more simple claim - that "Douglas Luiz is a lucky man".
