Summary

Arsenal has agreed to sign 18-year-old striker Igor Tyjon from Blackburn Rovers for an initial fee of £1 million, alongside add-ons and a 25% sell-on clause. Tyjon has already completed his medical with Arsenal, and the deal comes after lengthy negotiations that aimed to avoid a tribunal. He has had limited opportunities at Blackburn but managed to score seven goals and provide two assists in 21 youth team appearances last season. Tyjon made his senior debut in the League Cup and was on the bench for several Championship matches. An official announcement from Arsenal is expected soon.
