Standard Liège are being linked with a move for AC Horsens left-back Christ Tapé, with the 20-year-old Ivorian defender reportedly on the radar of the Belgian Pro League club.
Tapé, valued at €600,000 on Transfermarkt, is currently contracted to Danish 1.Division side AC Horsens, but public details of his deal – including the length of his contract and expiry date – remain undisclosed, fuelling speculation that he could be available on favourable terms or potentially move on as a free agent in the near future if his contract situation is not clarified.
Born on 2 March 2006 in Séguéla, Côte d’Ivoire, Tapé has developed into a modern left-back, standing at 1.88m and operating primarily on the left of defence, with his preferred foot also the left. He wears the number 12 shirt for Horsens and is listed as a defender – left-back – for the Danish club, which also appears as his “national team” designation in the available data, suggesting he is yet to break into the senior Ivorian national set‑up.
The latest rumour, dated 14 April 2026, links Tapé with a switch from AC Horsens in Denmark’s NordicBet Liga to Standard Liège in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, though no fee, contract duration or personal terms have been reported and the probability of the move is marked simply as “?”.
Recent match-specific performance details, including opponents, dates and scorelines, are not provided in the current data, so it is unclear which individual displays may have prompted this latest interest from Belgium.
With a relatively modest market value for a young defender and uncertainty over his contract expiry at Horsens, Tapé could represent a cost‑effective option for Standard Liège or even emerge as a free agent further down the line. A successful move to the Belgian top flight would offer a significant platform for the Ivorian to enhance his reputation in Europe and shape the next phase of his career.
