Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Defensive midfielder

K. Arriaga is a 28-year-old defensive midfielder at Levante, rated 58.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 226th of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arriaga.

Judged on this season alone, Arriaga graded 43 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 34 defensive midfielders in the La Liga, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 4.022 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 43). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 58, 20th of 34 of the 34 defensive midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Arriaga is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Arriaga missed 3 games through injury and 3 suspensions (injured, injured doubtful, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.4/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.3, Arriaga carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the La Liga of 34, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Levante finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
