The full picture
Tottenham Hotspur have shown recent improvement, winning against Coventry City and Chelsea, and are considering strengthening their attack with a potential January signing of Atletico Madrid's Alex Baena, according to To The Lane And Back. Baena has been a consistent performer, scoring five goals and providing two assists in 10 appearances this season. The 25-year-old has played a key role for Spain and Atletico Madrid since joining the club in 2025.
Arsenal have also taken an interest in signing Alex Baena in January, as reported by To The Lane And Back, citing FootballTransfers. The Gunners are looking to improve their squad despite a strong start to the season. Baena's versatility in playing on different flanks and centrally has caught Arsenal's attention, as they see him as a potential signing.
To The Lane And Back notes that Tottenham's pursuit of Baena is complicated by Arsenal's interest and Atletico Madrid's reluctance to sell. Baena's ability to operate in multiple positions could enhance Tottenham's depth and tactical options. However, no immediate move or bid is expected, and Spurs need to understand their options for attacking reinforcements.

Source context
Tottenham Hotspur have finally shown some fight and lift in themselves over the last week. They beat Coventry City 3-1 at home for their first Premier League win of the season, before following it up with a fantastic 2-0 away success at Chelsea. With back-to-back wins under the belt, Roberto De Zerbi and Co. will approach upcoming games with positivity and confidence. The midfield and attack are starting to click into gear, but there is a long way to go before this Spurs team can be termed as complete. More reinforcements in attack are certainly required, and the Lilywhites are keeping tabs on a talented player from La Liga. Spurs are reportedly weighing up a big-money January move for Atletico Madrid attacker Alex Baena.
