“In November I was in Brugge – the Head of Youth, he came to me and he was very happy and said he is close to the first-team, a few times on the bench, made his debut, so there are bringing him in [gradually].
“It shows a good team who knows how to bring in a player, they know how to give him the right information before he gets into the first-team.
“I think by the end of this season or by next season who will get chances in Brugge. With his capacities and qualities, I think we will have a very good, young talented player.”
Campbell has scored seven goals with two assists in 16 games in the Belgian Challenger Pro League this season.
