Cole Campbell Signs Four-Year Deal With Promoted Elversberg

The 20-year-old forward leaves Borussia Dortmund for a move that boosts Elversberg’s attacking options as it prepares for its first Bundesliga season.

Overview

  • Elversberg announced Campbell has signed a four-year contract through June 2030 and Borussia Dortmund issued a statement thanking him for his time at the club.
  • German magazine Kicker reported the transfer fee was about €6 million but neither club disclosed financial details.
  • Campbell moved to Dortmund’s academy from Iceland in 2022, has made only a handful of senior appearances for Dortmund and spent the second half of last season on loan at Hoffenheim where he made five substitute appearances.
  • Sporting director Christian Weber highlighted Campbell’s pace and one-on-one ability and said the club had pursued him to strengthen its attack for top-flight competition.
  • The transfer gives Campbell a clearer path to regular minutes that could aid his development and U.S. youth-team prospects while Elversberg adds youth and speed as it seeks to remain competitive in the Bundesliga.
