BVB retain the next top talent

Borussia Dortmund have agreed a long-term deal with 18-year-old Cole Campbell. The United States U19 international signed a senior contract with Borussia Dortmund which will keep him at the club until 30 June 2028. Campbell joins fellow 18-year-old Kjell Wätjen in committing to develop his talent in Dortmund. 

BVB managing director for sport, Lars Ricken, says: "Cole is a difference-maker in our U19s. His pace, his dribbling, his finishing and his mentality are qualities that make him special. We want to continue to promote his development, introduce him to the first team and let him train with the pros throughout preseason preparations."

Campbell, who holds both US and Icelandic citizenship, moved to BVB in July 2022. Since then, he has scored 18 goals and provided 19 assists in 52 games for the Black & Yellows' U17s and U19s.
