From the source

Arsenal failed to sign Julian Alvarez in the summer, but they remain interested in other players at Atletico Madrid, with Alex Baena one star they would love to sign in January.

Baena has been in superb form for Atletico over recent seasons and is regarded as one of the top players in La Liga, having consistently performed at a high level.

The Gunners believe Baena has the quality to succeed for them and have been working behind the scenes to explore a potential deal. A January move has been considered internally at the Emirates, as Arsenal would like him to join their squad for the second half of the season.
