Official | Lille sign Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda Lille have signed Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda (28), both clubs have announced . The Japan international has signed a four-year deal with Lille, tying him with Les Dogues until 2030. Ueda was the Eredivise’s top scorer last season with 25 goals scored in 31 games played. He also scored a brace in the 2026 World Cup against Tunisia. Ueda will bring much-needed competition to Olivier Giroud, until Hamza Igamane’s return from injury. He’ll wear the No. 18 jersey for Lille. L ‘ Equipe reported that Lille president Olivier Létang wanted to make sure Davide Ancelotti could rely on a striker before sanctioning Fernandez-Pardo’s exit. The signing of Ueda for a cut-price €15m deal could be seen as something as a coup given Ueda’s reliability. Ueda underwent a medical on Monday. He could make his Ligue 1 debut on Thursday against Toulouse. GFFN | Bastien Cheval
