Atalanta is one of several clubs recently linked with Igor Tyjon, an English-Polish centre-forward, who has rejected a lucrative offer for a new contract from Blackburn Rovers. The 17-year-old's current agreement expires in June, making this transfer window the last opportunity for Blackburn to receive a fee. Fellow Serie A club Monza has also been mentioned in connection with the player. There is also interest from the Premier League.
According to Ben Jacobs, Arsenal is reportedly working on a transfer. Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Chelsea have been linked in the past. Additionally, Piotr Koźmiński of Goal.pl reported that Raków Częstochowa, Legia Warszawa, Jagiellonia Białystok, and Widzew Łódź are also showing interest. The forward has scored 3 goals in 5 caps for England's U18 team and has 4 goals and 1 assist in 5 Premier League 2 appearances in the 2025/2026 season. Reports from January 2026 suggest a transfer fee of around €1.15 million would now be sufficient. In summer 2025, Arsenal reportedly had multiple bids rejected for sums up to a reported €3 million.
