Arsenal academy duo Nathan Butler-Oyedeji and Jack Henry-Francis are both set to leave the club as free agents this summer, Arsenal Insider understands.
It comes as the Gunners prepare a huge shift in the squad now that the summer transfer window is open once again.
With it comes the potential for signings and exits, along with those who are set to leave when their Arsenal contract expires.
There are a few of those already confirmed, as Kieran Tierney is set to rejoin Celtic, while Jorginho will move to Flamengo at the end of his contract.
While the first team is set for a shake-up, so too are the Hale End academy ranks, with Nathan Butler-Oyedeji and Jack Henry-Francis set for exits after 37 senior call-ups between them.
Nathan Butler-Oyedeji set for Arsenal exit at the end of his contract
Arsenal striker Nathan Butler-Oyedeji is set to leave the club this summer at the end of his contract, Arsenal Insider understands.
The striker has made his way through the Arsenal academy, spending loan spells at Accrington Stanley and Cheltenham on the way, though with some limited success.
Returning to London Colney, the forward has been more involved with the under-21s and the senior team.
Over the past few years, Mikel Arteta has called up Butler-Oyedeji 28 times to the first-team squad for a competitive match, 27 of which came this season.
That included an Arsenal debut for Butler-Oyedeji in both the Premier League and Champions League, with cameos from the bench.
Now, with his contract set to expire, the 22-year-old is set for a new challenge, away from the Emirates Stadium.
Jack Henry-Francis gains interest from League Two amid Arsenal contract decision
Arsenal Insider also understands that Jack Henry-Francis is set to leave the club this summer, with the academy midfielder coming to the end of his contract.
The midfielder spent the first half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Sligo Rovers, where he managed to rack up 13 appearances.
While the 21-year-old didn’t make his senior debut for Arsenal, he has been called up to nine different squads over the course of the season.
With an exit on the cards this summer, Arsenal Insider understands that League Two sides Crawley Town, Barnet, and Cheltenham are all showing interest in a potential free transfer.
It remains to be seen what could be next for him, though there is an expectation that his release will be soon as the retained list announcement nears.
