Arsenal has long been recognized for its development of young talent, and the interest from Standard Liege and Eupen in Butler-Oyedeji underscores the potential they see in the 21-year-old Hale End Academy product.

Having previously represented multiple national teams at youth levels, Butler-Oyedeji has the opportunity to establish himself further in a more prominent role outside of North London.

The forward has not yet secured a spot in Arsenal’s first team and may be considering a move to gain more consistent playing time.

The previous loan spell at Accrington Stanley, where he made 11 appearances without scoring, highlighted his need for further development and opportunities to demonstrate his skills on the field.

With the Belgian clubs eager to secure his signature, Butler-Oyedeji could benefit from a fresh start and increased playing time, while Arsenal might utilise any transfer funds to invest in other areas or promote additional academy talents.

As the transfer window progresses, the competition between Standard Liege and Eupen may intensify as they aim to secure the promising forward’s services permanently
