Arsenal could once again be set to run into Manchester United as they look to win the battle for young striker, Igor Tyjon.
Arsenal are keen on Tyjon and have already earmarked him as a signing they expect to make in the summer.
With the Gunners spending big money in recent windows on big-name talents, there is an element of ensuring they plan for the future under Andrea Berta.

However, with no deal struck with Tyjon or Blackburn Rovers just yet, the race remains wide open and now, Arsenal could see Manchester United step on their toes.
Manchester United have held talks to sign Igor Tyjon
Like any top young talent in the country, Igor Tyjon is being watched by all the biggest and best clubs.
Arsenal are right in there in the mix to land him but according to TeamTalk, so are Man United.
It’s claimed that United are among the other clubs to have held talks with Tyjon over completing a summer move to Old Trafford.
Tyjon and his representatives are well aware of the options he has on the table and are in a position to hold out for the best offer.
Blackburn, meanwhile, will be due some sort of compensation but will be powerless to stop Tyjon moving on.
Arsenal will be getting sick of Man United
If United do beat Arsenal to the signing of Igor Tyjon, it will be another occasion of the Red Devils taking one of the top young talents from under the Gunners’ noses.
We saw before how United tempted Chido Obi Martin to Old Trafford and he is expected to make an impact in the coming seasons.
Real Madrid tell Arsenal they will not sell Endrick. Who should the Gunners sign instead?
Tyjon’s career path is on a similar sort of path and while he has some experience at Blackburn already, he’s very much a raw talent.
Still, these are the sort of youngsters Arsenal need to be looking to bring in and if they lose out to United again, then alarm bells might start to ring somewhere in the club.
