The ongoing disagreement has now created a difficult situation for the Arsenal target, with the forward currently away from first-team training.
Arsenal target Igor Tyjon has reportedly taken drastic action amid a stand-off between Blackburn Rovers and the Gunners over a potential transfer for the highly-rated teenager.
The 18-year-old striker has requested that Blackburn cancel his contract and is currently not training with the club, according to a report from AFCi41.
Tyjon’s decision comes as Blackburn and Arsenal continue to struggle to reach an agreement over a transfer fee for the youngster.
Arsenal are understood to be keen on signing Tyjon but are attempting to secure his services for as low a fee as possible. The ongoing disagreement has now created an increasingly difficult situation for Blackburn, with the forward currently away from first-team training.

Tyjon has emerged as one of Blackburn’s promising young players and his situation has attracted interest from Arsenal as the Premier League champions continue to assess opportunities to strengthen their squad with young talent.
The Gunners have placed an increasing emphasis on recruiting players with significant long-term potential, and Tyjon is understood to be viewed as a player who could develop within the club’s system.
However, Blackburn’s position has complicated the potential move, with the two clubs yet to find common ground over the financial terms of a deal.
Tyjon’s decision to request the cancellation of his contract represents a significant development in the situation. His absence from training could further increase the pressure on Blackburn to find a resolution, particularly with Arsenal continuing to pursue an agreement.

It remains unclear how Blackburn will respond to Tyjon’s request or whether the latest development will accelerate negotiations with Arsenal.
The teenager’s immediate future is therefore uncertain, but Arsenal’s interest appears to remain clear as the club attempts to reach an agreement for the promising forward.
For Arsenal, the potential deal would represent another investment in the future rather than an immediate first-team signing.
The Gunners already have a number of highly-rated young players progressing through their academy and development pathway, while the club has continued to monitor emerging talent across the English game.
With Tyjon now not training with Blackburn and actively seeking to resolve his contractual situation, the coming days could prove crucial in determining whether Arsenal are able to complete a deal for the 18-year-old striker.
