Arsenal have enjoyed a bright start to the season and there’s a lot of optimism with regards to the coming months.
Not only do the Gunners boast a world-class first-team squad, but there are plenty of academy players who are showing they have a bright future in the game.
For instance, Ethan Nwaneri has been shining for Arsenal, while Myles Lewis-Skelly has also given Mikel Arteta some serious food for thought.
However, with so many talented players at Hale End, there will invariably be those who decide to move elsewhere in pursuit of first-team football.
Now, according to German football journalist Dominik Schneider, a Bundesliga club has already begun trying to sign a talented Arsenal academy striker.

Arsenal striker Nathan Butler-Oyedeji in Borussia Monchengladbach talks
The player in question is Nathan Butler-Oyedeji and, according to Schneider, Borussia Monchengladbach are in talks with the 21-year-old.
Schneider says talks between Butler-Oyedeji and Gladbach have been taking place since last week, and they’ve offered him first-team football from the off.
The Arsenal talent’s contract expires in February next year, added the reporter.

Butler-Oyedeji likely to leave Arsenal next year
Butler-Oyedeji has has a superb start to the season, with five goals and two assists from just five Premier League 2 outings.
However, with his contract reportedly expiring in February, he’s only got a few months to secure his future, whether it be with Arsenal or with another club.
Butler-Oyedeji turns 22 in January and he’s yet to make his competitive Gunners debut. With that in mind, it suggests his future lies elsewhere.
The levels at Arsenal are now so high that, even though a player like Butler-Oyedeji would likely do well in the Premier League, he would need to already be world-class to get into the Gunners squad now.
