Multiple reports have confirmed that Arsenal have made their first official bid for Igor Tyjon by submitting a formal offer. The Blackburn forward has long been admired by the interested team, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad ahead of the run-in. Whether the current offer will be enough to tempt Blackburn to part with a prized asset remains to be seen. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Arsenal are progressing without added pressure. At 2.0 goals scored per game this season, Arsenal already pose a big threat. Igor Tyjon would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Reports suggest Arsenal are monitoring Leon Goretzka, Bradley Barcola and Bazoumana Toure whereas Blackburn have not been associated with other players at this stage.
