  "account": "Lille have secured the signature of Japanese striker Ayase Ueda from Feyenoord in a deal worth €15 million. The 28-year-old Ueda was Lille's top scorer last season, netting 25 goals in the Dutch league. He also contributed two goals for Japan during the World Cup, before his team's elimination in the round-of-32 stage against Brazil. Ueda's move to Lille follows the French club's recent sale of 18-year-old Moroccan striker Ayyoub Bouaddi to Manchester City for €100 million. Lille are now considering the sale of another striker, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, with Newcastle United reportedly interested in the Belgian for a potential €65 million. The northern French team will face Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Roma, and Galatasaray in the Champions League this season.",
