Career

edit

Valladolid

edit

Arnaiz was born in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Castile-La Mancha. He made his senior debut with UD Talavera in 2013 in Tercera División at the age of 18 and, on 6 May 2013, moved to Real Valladolid in a return to youth football.[3]

On 7 November 2015, after appearing regularly with the reserves, Arnaiz made his professional debut by coming on as a late substitute for Pedro Tiba in a 1–1 home draw against CD Leganés in the Segunda División.[4] The following 8 June, after scoring 11 goals the previous season, he renewed his contract until 2019,[5] and was definitely promoted to the first team.

Arnaiz scored his first professional goal on 21 August 2016, the only in a home victory over Real Oviedo.[6] On 8 October, he scored a brace in a 2–0 home defeat of AD Alcorcón,[7] and finished the campaign with 12 goals, being a key unit as his side failed to qualify for the play-offs.[8]

Barcelona

edit

On 25 August 2017, FC Barcelona reached an agreement with Valladolid for the transfer of Arnaiz.[9] He signed a three-year contract with the club three days later, being initially assigned to their B side also in the second division.[10]

Arnaiz made his first-team debut on 24 October 2017, starting the match and scoring the last goal in a 3–0 away win over Real Murcia in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[11] The following 3 January, he opened the 1–1 away draw against RC Celta de Vigo also in the national cup;[12] he went on score three times during that competition, only needing as many shots to achieve the feat.[13]

Arnaiz's maiden La Liga appearance took place on 7 January 2018, when he replaced Sergi Roberto late in a 3–0 home victory against Levante UD.[14]

Leganés

edit

On 13 August 2018, Arnaiz agreed to a five-year deal with CD Leganés.[15] On 29 January 2020, he was loaned to fellow top-tier side CA Osasuna until June.[16] On 11 July, he scored the winner as the hosts defeated Celta 2–1,[17] and in another win by the same score he added another goal at Barcelona's Camp Nou five days later.[18]

Arnaiz was his team's top scorer in 2022–23, his nine goals helping to a 14th-place finish in division two.[19]

Osasuna

edit

On 13 June 2023, as his link to Leganés was due to expire, Arnaiz returned to Osasuna on a two-year contract.[20]
