RC Lens Shows Interest in Young Ivorian Talent

“Defense is a priority.”

Reports from RMC Sport on Friday, June 13, 2025, indicate that RC Lens is keenly observing Christ Tapped. The 19-year-old Ivorian U20 international currently plays for AC Horsens in Denmark’s second tier.

Tapé, a native of Seguela, is valued at approximately €200,000 by specialized football websites. He notably impressed at the Maurice-Revello tournament last year, where he helped the Ivory Coast reach the final after defeating France. Tapé’s versatility, as he can play both as a lateral and central defender, makes him an attractive prospect for RC Lens. The club’s interest remains strong, and further developments are expected.
