1:37pm, 6 October 2025【Football】

In the Eredivisie, Japanese striker Kise Ueda continued to perform well, becoming a dazzling star on Feyenoord's front line.

On October 5, in the 8th round of the Eredivisie, Kise Ueda won two goals alone, helping Feyenoord defeat Utrecht 3-2 and continue to rank first in the standings.

After this game, Ueda Kise has scored 8 goals in the Eredivisie this season, winning nearly half of the team's goals, and currently ranks first in the scorer list. He leads the second-ranked Ajax player, former Manchester United striker Weghorst and Groningen's Williamson to lead the Golden Boot battle.

Ueda Kie also set a team record: he is the third Feyenoord player to score 8 goals in the first 8 rounds of the season in the past 20 years, and only Pelle and Santiago Jimenez have achieved this achievement before.

Under the guidance of the former legendary striker and current team coach Van Persie, Ueda Kise's sense of smell and finishing ability in front of the goal were fully released. This season, 8 goals were scored in just 8 games, which is only 1 goal away from his total goals (9 goals) in all competitions last season, and is expected to significantly break the individual goal record for a single season.

In 2023, Ueda Kise joined Feyenoord for 8 million euros transfer fee. After more than two seasons of running-in and growth, the Japanese international has firmly occupied the main position and has become an indispensable core player for the team.

With such efficient goal performance, Ueda Kise is rapidly growing into one of the most noteworthy frontline killers in the Eredivisie and even European football today.
