Overview
- United have joined the chase for the 17-year-old forward, with reports still placing Arsenal as favourites to sign him this window.
- Igor Tyjon has rejected a first professional contract at Ewood Park, making January the last realistic chance for Blackburn to secure a development fee.
- Arsenal made multiple bids exceeding £1 million in 2024 that were turned down, and the club has maintained interest into the current window.
- United’s recruitment under INEOS is leaning toward high-potential youth signings, aligning with a possible move for Tyjon.
- Tyjon has limited senior minutes but strong youth credentials, including England and Poland youth caps and nine goals in 22 appearances for Blackburn’s Under-21s.
