The Mexican could yet return to the Premier League to haunt his former employers.
Arsene Wenger told reporters, on Friday, that he would be engaging in transfer activities during the January window.
The Gunners are vying for their first Premier League title in 12 years and have Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Arsenal have done all that while coping with a hefty injury list, which has accounted for the likes of Danny Welbeck, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez, to name but four.
Olivier Giroud has been asked to take up the scoring bulk after the Theo Walcott experiment, leading the line, was shelved.
Wenger is on the look-out for a striker he can easily integrate into his trophy-chasing side and, to that end, a move for Javier Hernandez would be prudent. The transfer has been mooted in today's Don Balon, a noted football outlet in Spain.
The Mexican striker had a good goal return during his six seasons with Manchester United and has proved, for United, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen that he does not wilt in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old's form since his £7.3m switch from United has been impressive.
He started the season slowly but has been unstoppable since October - scoring 16 times in his last 13 games.
Hernandez already breached the Barca defence this season in the Champions League. A bid in the region of £12-14m may well see him ask to do it again, in an Arsenal jersey.
