Didier Lamkel Zé (born 17 September 1996) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays for DAC Dunajská Streda of the Fortuna Liga, on loan from Royal Antwerp, as a forward.

Club career[]

Chamois Niortais[]

After joining the Lille youth academy from Cameroonian club L'École de Football Brasseries du Cameroun (EFBC), Lamkel Zé progressed through its youth teams.[1] In the summer of 2016, he moved to Chamois Niortais and ended up in the first team.[1] 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[]

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.[2]

In December 2020, Lamkel Zé was linked to a move to Greek club Panathinaikos to play under former Antwerp manager László Bölöni.[3] To push for the move, Lamkel Zé showed up to training in early January 2021 wearing a shirt of Antwerp's rival, Anderlecht.[3] On 6 January 2021, following a public outrage, Lamkel Zé apologized and issued a public statement re-committing to Antwerp.[3][4]

DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda[]

On 6 September 2021, Lamkel Zé signed a one-yar loan contract with previous seasons' Slovak vice-champions DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda. According to Transfermarkt, he became Fortuna Liga's most valuable player. According to DAC's Sporting Director Jan Van Daele, Lamkel Zé was to find peaceful atmosphere permitting maximal utilisation of his offensive skills and physical parameters.[5]
