AC Horsens defender Christ Tapé is being linked with a move to French side Stade Reims as speculation grows over his future in Denmark.
The 20-year-old left-back, who is valued at €600,000, is the subject of a reported approach from Reims, currently competing in Ligue 2. Data from Transfermarkt lists the probability of the transfer only as “?”, underlining that talks remain at the rumour stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Tapé, born on 2 March 2006 in Séguéla, Côte d’Ivoire, has emerged at Horsens as a tall, athletic full-back, standing at 1.88m and operating primarily on the left side of defence. A left-footed player, he wears the number 12 shirt for the Danish 1. Division club.
His current contract situation is unclear, with no expiry date recorded. That has fuelled suggestions he could become a free agent if no extension is agreed, a scenario that would make any move to France more straightforward and potentially cheaper than his market value might suggest.
Tapé is listed with AC Horsens as both his club and his national-team affiliation in the data provided, with no senior international caps for Côte d’Ivoire documented. He has been developing in the NordicBet Liga, Denmark’s second tier, where his physical profile and defensive versatility have drawn attention.
Recent updates around the player were logged on 14 April 2026, but there is no official indication from either club that a deal is close, nor any confirmation of fee structure or contract length should he join Reims.
If the move does materialise, a switch from Danish second-tier football to Ligue 2 would represent a significant step in Tapé’s career, offering a higher-profile platform in France to accelerate his development and raise his reputation in European football.
