Lille sign Japan striker Ueda from Feyenoord
Dutch league top scorer Ayase Ueda arrives at the Ligue 1 side following Ayyoub Bouaddi’s record transfer to Manchester City.
Lille has signed Japan striker Ayase Ueda from Feyenoord for a fee of €15 million. The 28-year-old, who led the Dutch league in goals last season with 25, also scored twice for Japan at the World Cup. Lille acquired Ueda following the sale of 18-year-old Moroccan striker Ayyoub Bouaddi to Manchester City for €100 million. The French club is also considering selling Belgian striker Matias Fernandez-Pardo, with Newcastle United reportedly interested, potentially for around €65 million.
Lille will compete in the Champions League this season, facing teams such as Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Roma and Galatasaray.
