Celtic have learned that it could take £6 million to sign winger Cole Campbell from Borussia Dortmund, it is being reported.
The Parkhead club are being linked with the 20-year-old after he spent the end of last season on loan at fellow Bundesliga side Hoffenheim.

The report also adds that Dortmund will be looking for around £6m for the USA under-23 international.
Campbell still has two years left on his contract at Signal Iduna Park, putting his club in a strong position.
With Campbell not really having an impact during his loan and with limited first-team experience, the Scottish champions will now be left to decide whether he would be worth that outlay.
They spent similar on another winger, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, year ago and he failed to deliver over the course of the season.
