Club career

[edit]

Chamois Niortais

[edit]

After joining the Lille youth academy from Cameroonian club L'École de Football Brasseries du Cameroun (EFBC), Lamkel Zé progressed through its youth teams.[2] In the summer of 2016, he moved to Chamois Niortais and ended up in the first team.[2] Lamkel Zé made his Ligue 2 debut on 29 July 2016 in the 0–0 draw with RC Lens, coming on as a substitute for Romain Grange late in the match. He scored his first senior goal the following week, the equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Stade Lavallois.

Royal Antwerp

[edit]

On 24 July 2018, Lamkel Zé joined Belgian First Division A side Antwerp on a four-year deal with the option of a fifth year.[3]

In December 2020, Lamkel Zé was linked to a move to Greek club Panathinaikos to play under former Antwerp manager László Bölöni.[4] To push for the move, Lamkel Zé showed up to training in early January 2021 wearing a shirt of Antwerp's rival, Anderlecht.[4] On 6 January 2021, following a public outrage, Lamkel Zé apologized and issued a public statement re-committing to Antwerp.[4][5]

Loan to Dunajská Streda

[edit]

On 6 September 2021, Lamkel Zé signed a one-year loan with Fortuna Liga club Dunajská Streda.[6]

Loan to Khimki

[edit]

On 7 February 2022, Lamkel Zé joined Russian Premier League club Khimki on loan.[7] The loan was terminated early due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Loan to Metz

[edit]

According to the special rules introduced by FIFA due to the war, foreign players with Russian clubs were allowed to sign a short-term contract with non-Russian clubs outside of the transfer window.[8] On 1 April 2022, Lamkel Zé moved to Metz on loan under those conditions.[9]

On 23 August 2022, Lamkel Zé signed a three-year contract with Kortrijk.[10]
