Lille sign Japan striker Ueda from Feyenoord
Days after selling wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi to Manchester City, French side Lille announced Monday they have recruited Japan international Ayase Ueda from Feyenoord. Lille have paid 15 million euros ($17 million) for the centre-forward after cashing in to the tune of 100 million euros by ceding the 18-year-old Moroccan Bouaddi to City last week.
Japan striker Ayase Ueda has agreed to a £17 million move to Lille, the club confirmed on Monday. The 28-year-old previously topped the Dutch league in the previous season with 25 goals and also netted twice for his country at the World Cup. Lille have paid Feyenoord 15 million euros for the centre-forward, while also exploring the sale of striker Matias Fernandez-Pardo, with Newcastle showing interest in the Belgian for 65 million euros.
