Bernard Lambourde signed on the 14th of June 1997 for £1.5million from Bordeaux. He is a 6ft 2in central defender, who has the ability to play in a deep midfield role or sweeper. Lambourde becomes the second Frenchman at Chelsea, joining the fellow defender Frank Leboeuf. Following the departure of Erland Johnsen, he is seen as a perfect replacement. Good Luck Lambourde!
