Ayase Ueda attracts Premier League, Bundesliga interest

Ayase Ueda’s strong showing at the World Cup has sparked interest from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano. The 27‑year‑old striker could leave Feyenoord this summer despite a contract that runs until mid‑2028. His performances included a clean sheet against the Netherlands and a two‑goal, one‑assist display versus Tunisia. Ueda started both group matches for Japan, known as the Samurai Blue, at the tournament. He kept his goal line untouched in the 2‑2 draw with the Netherlands and then contributed two goals and an assist in the 4‑0 win over Tunisia. Fabrizio Romano wrote on Monday, “Ayase Ueda zou Feyenoord deze zomer kunnen verlaten, mede door de toenemende belangstelling na zijn prestaties op het WK.” He added, “Hij wordt al benaderd door Premier League- en Bundesliga-clubs.”

Ueda’s contract with Feyenoord runs until mid‑2028, giving the club a long‑term hold on the player. He finished the previous Eredivisie season as top scorer with 25 goals in 31 appearances. Feyenoord signed Ueda three years ago for eight million euros from Belgian side Cercle Brugge. The forward’s arrival was part of Rotterdam’s strategy to strengthen its attack.
