Club career

Born in Les Lilas, of Guadeloupean and Malagasy descent, Lambourde began his career at the age of seven with grassroots side Cosmos Saint-Denis.^[1] After one season, he joined hometown club Les Lilas, where he spent three years before a move to professional club Paris Saint-Germain.^[2] After only a season with Paris Saint-Germain, he moved to Jeanne d'Arc de Drancy in 2018, but the club would report that he had signed a six-year deal with Stade Rennais only a year later, in April 2019.^[3]

Despite being pictured in club attire holding a Stade Rennais kit, the French Football Federation have stated that it was not until 2021 that Lambourde would join the club.^[1] He got off to a good start to the 2022–23 season, scoring fourteen goals by November, and went on to finish the season with twenty-five in all competitions at under-19 level.^[4][5]

On 30 August 2024, Lambourde signed a five-year contract with Hellas Verona in Italy.^[6]

International career

Lambourde has represented France at under-17 level.^[1] He starred at the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship as France finished runners-up to Germany.^[2][5][7]

On 18 June 2024, while riding an electric scooter on the pedestrian section of the François-Mitterrand mail in Rennes, Lambourde collided with a pedestrian, who was a 51-year-old woman. She died as a result of this accident six days later. On 4 July 2024, Lambourde was placed under judicial supervision and prosecuted for involuntary manslaughter, lack of insurance and "manifestly deliberate violation of an obligation of safety or prudence".^[8] The trial was held at the Rennes Criminal Court on 23 August 2024, in which Lambourde was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter.^[9]
