With the January transfer window rapidly approaching, thoughts will inevitably start to turn to which of the club’s youngsters will be departing next month either permanently or on loan.
**Nathan Butler-Oyedeji** has been superb for the U21s in the first half of the season, scoring nine goals in Premier League 2. However, the attacker now needs to be playing senior football and could be set for a move of some description.
**Khayon Edwards**, whose Arsenal contract expires at the end of the season, is another candidate to depart.
Defender **Zane Monlouis** has amassed plenty of experience at U21 level and now needs to be playing first-team football of some description.
**Salah-Eddine** impressed for the first-team in pre-season but has only been on the bench for two competitive matches this season. Therefore he could also leave despite being a talented player.
**Jack Henry-Francis** impressed during a loan spell at Sligo Rovers and could now be set for another temporary move elsewhere.
**Maldini Kacurri** has been on the fringes of the first-team at times this season but the centre-back could be a contender for a loan spell if the opportunity arises.
Similarly, **Josh Nichols** made his senior debut earlier this campaign and may now be ready for a loan.
**Jimi Gower** has been a key part of the U21 side and could also be ready for a move.
