Ayase Ueda, born on 28 August 1998 (age 27), is a Japan international striker at Feyenoord, where he wears number 9. His market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came with Feyenoord in 2025–26, when he scored 25 goals in 31 appearances. That return gave his role a fairly clear shape: a centre-forward judged, as they usually are, by the work done in the penalty box.
Ueda remains a regular first-team presence in 2026–27. He has made nine appearances for Feyenoord across all competitions, scoring two goals, including one in the Eredivisie and one in the Europa League. He has also stayed prominent for Japan, with two goals in four World Cup appearances and eight in nine Asian qualifying matches.
His career is now that of an established Japan striker operating regularly for Feyenoord, with his strongest club season still fresh and his international involvement continuing alongside it.
