Club career

edit

Born in Bergara, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Arieta joined SD Eibar's youth setup from CD Bergara.[2] In July 2019, he was promoted to the reserves in Tercera División.[3]

Arieta made his senior debut on 24 August 2019, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Gernika Club.[4] He scored his first senior goal on 18 September, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 away defeat of CD Basconia, and finished the campaign with eight goals in 27 appearances overall, as his side narrowly missed out promotion in the play-offs.

Arieta made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 30 September 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Kike in a 0–1 home loss against Elche CF.[5][2]
