Ayase Ueda is a Japan striker, born on 28 August 1998 (age 27), and currently wears the number 9 shirt for Feyenoord. His market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came at Feyenoord in 2025-26, when he scored 25 goals in 31 appearances. That return gave him a clear place in the Rotterdam club’s attack rather than the vague status often handed to imported forwards who are still being judged week to week.
In 2026-27, Ueda remains a first-team presence for Feyenoord, with appearances in the Eredivisie, KNVB Beker and Europa League. He has played eight times in all competitions so far, scoring once in Europe.
He has also been active for Japan this season, with two goals in four World Cup appearances and eight goals in nine Asian qualifying matches. His career, at this stage, is straightforward enough: a centre-forward in his prime years, established at Feyenoord and still carrying regular responsibility for his country.
