Highly-rated Ghanaian teenager John Batigi has completed a move to Danish club AC Horsens, signing a four-year contract after catching the eye of scouts across Europe.
The 18-year-old forward joins from Bulgarian side Botev Plovdiv, where he impressed in a breakout season. His move comes after a steady rise through the ranks, including standout performances during a loan stint in Armenia, which first sparked interest from several European clubs.
Batigi’s transfer to Denmark marks a significant step in his young career, with AC Horsens betting on the Ghanaian’s raw talent and attacking flair to bolster their squad.
The club confirmed the deal, and sources close to the player say the decision was driven by a clear path to first-team football and further development in one of Europe’s most competitive talent-nurturing leagues.
Batigi had attracted interest from clubs in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Eastern Europe, but Horsens moved swiftly to secure his signature, impressed by both his potential and his maturity on and off the field.
Though young, the Ghanaian is known for his quick feet, powerful runs, and eye for goal, qualities that have seen him tipped as one of the brightest talents emerging from West Africa in recent years.
As Horsens prepare for the new season, all eyes will be on Batigi to see how he adapts to Danish football and whether this move is the next chapter in a long and promising career.
