Arsenal is reportedly close to finalizing a transfer deal for Igor Tyjon of Blackburn Rovers. The Gunners are expected to agree on a fee of around £2 million plus add-ons, seeking to conclude negotiations after several unsuccessful bids since last summer. This comes as Tyjon, 18, remains in the final year of his scholarship with Blackburn after declining to sign a professional contract. He registered seven goals and two assists in 21 youth matches during the 2025/26 season. Arsenal hopes to complete this transfer soon, as Tyjon's contract status adds urgency to the move.
