Keeper Iliev has spent eight years with the Gunners since joining from FK Belasica but has yet to make a first-team appearance.
The former Macedonia youth international most recently had a loan stint at Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok following a spell in Slovakia with SKF Sered.
Iliev captained Arsenal’s Under-23 side but will hoping gain first team experience with The Shrews.
Bola has been at Arsenal since the age of nine having risen through the youth ranks.
The 21-year-old trained with the first team last season but Mikel Arteta believes his development is better suited elsewhere.
Bola has represented England at youth level and has been a key feature in the U23 side.
