Club career

Valladolid

Arnaiz was born in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo, Castile-La Mancha. He made his senior debuts 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.[1]

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 for the Segunda División championship.[2] The following 8 June, after scoring 11 goals during the previous season, he renewed his contract until 2019,[3] and was definitely promoted to the first team.

Arnaiz scored his first professional goal on 21 August 2016, netting the game's only in a home success over Real Oviedo.[4] On 8 October, he scored a brace in a 2–0 home win against AD Alcorcón,[5] and finished the campaign with 12 goals, being a key unit as his side failed to qualify for the play-offs.[6]

Barcelona

On 25 August 2017, FC Barcelona reached an agreement with Valladolid for the transfer of Arnaiz.[7] He signed a three-year contract with the club three days later, being initially assigned to their B-side also in the second division.[8]

Arnaiz made his first-team debut on 24 October 2017, starting the match and scoring the last goal in a 3–0 away win against Real Murcia for the Copa del Rey.[9] The following 3 January, he netted the opener in a 1–1 away draw against Celta de Vigo also for the national cup;[10] he went on score three times during that competition, only needing as many shots to achieve the feat.[11]

Arnaiz's maiden La Liga appearance took place on 7 January 2018, when he replaced Sergi Roberto late in a 3–0 home defeat of Levante UD.[12]

Leganés

On 13 August 2018, Arnaiz agreed to a five-year contract with CD Leganés.[13]
