Cheltenham has secured loan deals for two talented young players from higher division teams. The League One Robins have added 20-year-old Arsenal forward Nathan Butler-Oyedeji and 20-year-old Birmingham right back Josh Williams to their squad.

Butler-Oyedeji has twice been on the bench for Arsenal’s first-team and finished last season on loan at

Accrington.Williams has made six starts for the Blues in the Championship.

Butler-Oyedeji – who joins on a season-long deal – scored four goals for the Gunners under-21s in the EFL Trophy last season and was an unused substitute in both the Premier League and FA Cup.
