The long-running saga is over. Arsenal agree transfer for young talent

Arsenal are on the verge of signing one of England’s most promising young strikers.

Details: According to respected insiders Gunnerblog and Nnamdi Onye, London’s Arsenal have reached a fundamental agreement with Blackburn Rovers for the transfer of 18-year-old forward Igor Tyjon. Both clubs have settled all the key terms of the deal, and today, August 21, the young talent is set to undergo his medical ahead of finalizing the move.

The London club have been chasing Tyjon over several transfer windows. Arsenal submitted a series of official offers, but Blackburn Rovers persistently refused to let go of their academy product, sending negotiations into a deadlock for quite some time. Ultimately, the Gunners’ persistence has paid off, leading to a breakthrough.

It’s worth highlighting that 18-year-old Igor Tyjon plays as a centre-forward for Blackburn Rovers and is a regular for England’s youth national teams.
