Casper Nielsen is a Danish central midfielder, born on 29 April 1994 (age 32), now with Standard Liege. He wears squad number 94 and remains part of the first-team picture in 2025-26 rather than drifting into the margins.
His most productive league campaign came at Union Saint-Gilloise in 2021-22, when he scored seven goals in 33 appearances. That season remains the clearest marker of what he can offer from midfield: enough running, enough timing, and a useful habit of arriving in areas where midfielders are not always expected to be.
At Standard Liege, Nielsen has continued to be used regularly. In 2025-26 he has made 18 league appearances, scoring two league goals, with his wider campaign standing at 31 appearances and five goals across all competitions. His current market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
Nielsen’s career has been a steady one rather than a noisy one: a Danish midfielder who built his profile at Union Saint-Gilloise and has carried on as a regular senior option at Standard Liege.
