American forward Cole Campbell has completed a move to Bundesliga newcomer Elversberg from Borussia Dortmund. The 20-year-old, born in Houston, signed a four-year contract through June 2030.

Elversberg sporting director Christian Weber praised Campbell's "exceptional pace and one-on-one ability," adding the club had pursued him for some time. Kicker magazine reports Elversberg paid €6 million (approximately $7 million) to Dortmund for the player, who joined the German club's academy in 2022.

Campbell spent the latter half of last season on loan at Hoffenheim, appearing in five matches. He previously played for Iceland's U-17 team before switching to U.S. youth national sides. Campbell follows in the footsteps of other American talents like Christian Pulisic and Giovanni Reyna who developed within Dortmund's system. Elversberg secured promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time by finishing second in the second division last season.
