Cercle Brugge striker Ayase Ueda is in transfer rumors. According to The Yorkshire Post, Everton, Leeds United and Brighton & Hove Albion are chasing the former Cercle Brugge striker, with Everton reportedly leading the pack. The chances of Feyenoord letting Ueda go are slim, as they want a price between 30 and 35 million euros. However, this price may increase due to the upcoming World Cup. Feyenoord hopes that Ueda will perform well with Japan, so they can increase the price. Ueda is still contracted to Feyenoord until mid-2028. If Everton fails to agree with Feyenoord, the way is open for Leeds United and Brighton. However, it remains to be seen if the clubs are willing to meet Feyenoord's asking price. The possible transfer of Ueda will be a major task for the new technical director Devy Rigaux. He recently made his first big decision, sacking trainer Robin van Persie. Ueda and Japan will face the Netherlands, Sweden and Tunisia at the upcoming World Cup.
