Nuovo talento americano Cole Campbell

Cole Campbell, a rising talent at Borussia Dortmund, has garnered attention for his potential to follow in the footsteps of Christian Pulisic. At just 18 years old, Campbell has already made a name for himself as a promising winger. He joined Borussia Dortmund’s youth setup in 2022, after starting his career at Atlanta United’s academy and spending time in Iceland, where he made his professional debut at just 15 years old. His versatility as a left-footed winger allows him to play both on his natural left side and as an inverted winger on the right, giving him a style similar to players like Leroy Sané

Campbell’s technical skills, combined with his speed and ability to create and score goals, make him an exciting prospect. His impressive statistics at the U17 and U19 levels, where he accumulated 18 goals and 19 assists across 52 games, show that he can make a significant impact [21]. Moreover, his decision to switch allegiance from Iceland to the United States paid off when he scored two goals on his debut for the U19 US national team in a victory against England

Comparing him to Christian Pulisic is inevitable, given Dortmund’s history of developing young American talent. Like Pulisic, Campbell has shown promise from a young age, and his performances with Borussia Dortmund’s U19s and Dortmund II have started to catch the attention of first-team coaches. His professional contract, which runs until 2028, suggests that the club has long-term plans for him, and his inclusion in senior training camps hints at future integration into the first team

While Campbell still has room to develop, especially in refining his two-footed play and decision-making in the final third, his potential is undeniable. With more pre-season opportunities and continued strong performances at the youth level, Campbell could become the next big American star at Borussia Dortmund, following in the footsteps of Pulisic and Gio Reyna [22]. Whether he can fully step into Pulisic’s shoes remains to be seen, but his trajectory is certainly promising.
