Once again, BVB has outperformed the competition in recruiting a top talent. The young offensive man Cole Campbell is moving from Iceland to Dortmund for the new season.
In Europe, BVB is one of the most attractive addresses for young footballers with exceptional skills. Again and again Lars Ricken, manager of the club’s youth academy, and his colleagues manage to lure coveted diamonds in the rough to Borussia.
Iceland junior international Cole Campbell is now the next teenager to tie the knot with the Black and Yellows.
“I am very happy to announce that I have signed my first professional contract with Borussia Dortmund!” the 16-year-old wrote on Instagram and published several pictures of his signature. In addition to BVB representative Ricken, his parents and his advisor can also be seen.
Campbell, who also holds a US passport, gained his first professional experience in Iceland at FH Hafnarfjördur. His versatility is a big trump card, he can play almost all positions in attack.
BVB apparently prevailed against FC Bayern
It is unclear for which Dortmund youth team the new signing is initially planned. Both the U17 and the U19 would be eligible. Looking ahead, the first appearances in the 3rd division, where Borussia’s second team is currently based, should also be an issue.
According to “Sky” information, BVB prevailed against well-known competitors in the campaign for Campbell. FC Bayern was also considered interested. The long-term development concept of Westphalia was ultimately decisive.
