Igor Tyjon Transfer from Blackburn Rovers U21 to Arsenal
Blackburn Rovers have confirmed that Igor Tyjon has departed to join Premier League champions Arsenal for an undisclosed fee. Tyjon had been seeking to leave for most of the past year and rejected a first professional contract offer from the club after attracting Premier League interest.

After months of talks, Arsenal agreed a deal for Tyjon. It is understood that Rovers agreed to a package valued at several million pounds. Tyjon published a goodbye post on social media earlier this week, which was quickly deleted. Rovers stated that the club had wanted Tyjon to continue his development with them and had made efforts to retain the young player. However, Rovers also stated that the player expressed his desire to pursue the next stage of his career away from Ewood Park.
