Alan Nixon reports on his Patreon that Arsenal are preparing to close a deal for Blackburn Rovers youngster Igor Tyjon .
The Gunners are reportedly hoping to agree a fee of around £2m plus add-ons for the 18-year-old striker, after failing with multiple bids to bring him in last summer.
Rumours from the former owner of Rovers’ fan account RoversXtra suggested earlier this week that the club rejected a bid from Arsenal around two weeks ago, but that another was expected this weekend.

Ryan Taylor reported back in February that Arsenal did plan to revisit Tyjon’s signing this year, though he added that a number of other clubs would also be in the mix.
Tyjon’s scholarship contract at Rovers was due to end this summer, but they extended it by a year after he refused to sign a professional contract. As a result, he is once again in the final 12 months of his deal.
Arsenal have made many bids for Tyjon over the last year, with possibly as many as five offers submitted so far between summer 2025, January 2026, and summer 2026. Perhaps they’re finally now close to a successful conclusion.

Tyjon scored seven goals and assisted two in 21 appearances for the Blackburn Rovers youth teams in 2025/26, with his minutes inconsistent and limited as an apparent result of his refusal to sign professional terms with the club.
The 18-year-old also made an appearance for Rovers’ senior side in the League Cup in the season just finished, and he made the bench for an FA Cup match against Hull City, as well as three Championship games.
