The Feyenoord forward has enjoyed his most productive season to date, finishing as the Eredivisie's top goalscorer with 25 goals to his name. Overall, he has 40 goals and six assists in 108 games for the Dutch club.
His performances this season did not go unnoticed. A number of sides in the Premier League are reportedly considering a move for the striker this summer.
It is believed that Nottingham Forest is one of them. Reports in the Netherlands have made it clear that Feyenoord expect Ayase Ueda to leave this summer.
Indeed, Sport Witness recently covered Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie's comments on the matter. He was skeptical about the striker's survival in Rotterdam.

However, Van der Gijp is not confident about a move to the Premier League. And he is not particularly keen to see the striker join Nottingham Forest.
"Then I read Ueda has to go now; sign for four years if you're enjoying yourself, boy. It's good, isn't it? You score 23 every season," he said on Vandaag Inside.
"Then you go to Nottingham Forest; do you know how many points you get there? 4 if you're lucky and you get a penalty. It's no fun at all."
For now, Ayase Ueda's focus will be on the World Cup. He will be part of Japan's squad for the tournament in the United States this summer.
Once the work is done there, the focus will probably turn to transfers. With a contract until 2028, there is no need for Feyenoord to sell on the cheap. He is currently valued at €15m, so they are already set to make a healthy profit on the €8m paid in 2023.
If a transfer does occur, Van der Gijp does not believe it should be to Nottingham Forest. He couldn't be clear about his feelings on that idea.
