Ria Bose is 19 years old and they already call her “the new Alisha Lehmann”.
She trained at the academies of Chelsea and Brighton, spent time at Sporting de Portugal, and is now returning home: West Ham United signed her for two and a half seasons to strengthen coach Rita Guarino’s project. She plays as an attacking full-back, with an electric style that cuts through opposition lines, and fans are already following her on social media as much for her football as for the comparison that went viral.
For now, she is on loan at Sunderland, but remains under contract with the Hammers. And in England, they already consider her one of the prospects who could define the next era of the WSL, as well as one of the league’s most beautiful footballers 😍
