Blackburn see off Premier League competition to secure deal for striker
Blackburn are set to win the race to sign youngster Igor Tyjon from Rochdale, despite interest from Brighton.
Blackburn are expected to win the race to sign Rochdale youngster Igor Tyjon, despite the Premier League interest in the player.
Who is Igor Tyjon?
The 16-year-old striker isn’t a name that many fans will know about, but the teenager has been making a name for himself in Rochdale’s youth team due to his outstanding goalscoring ability.
With Rochdale having dropped to the National League, they know that they aren’t in a position to keep hold of the attacker. That saw the player linked with moves to both Newcastle United and Brighton, with reports stating that the latter were pushing to get a deal done.
