Ayase Ueda, born on 28 August 1998 (age 28), is a Japan international striker now with Lille. His market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His strongest club season came at Feyenoord in 2025–26, when he scored 25 goals in 31 league appearances. That is the sort of return which tends to tidy up a striker’s reputation without needing much embroidery.
In 2026–27, Ueda scored three goals in four league appearances for Feyenoord before moving on to Lille, where he scored once in his first league appearance. He has also been active for Japan, with two goals in four World Cup appearances and eight goals in nine Asian World Cup qualifiers.
Ueda’s recent career has been shaped by strong league scoring at Feyenoord, a move into French football with Lille, and a steady role for Japan at international level.
