  "account": "Arsenal has been in pursuit of Blackburn Rovers' youth striker, Igor Tyjon, for over a year. The 18-year-old has already completed his medical with the Gunners, and it is expected that the transfer will be finalized soon. Tyjon shared a farewell message on Instagram, expressing gratitude to the club and its staff, but also mentioning that the last few months were challenging due to certain individuals. He added that despite the ups and downs, he will always cherish the good times at Blackburn. The player scored seven goals and provided two assists in 21 appearances for Blackburn's youth teams during the 2025/26 season. However, his minutes were limited as he refused to sign professional terms with the club.",
