Danilo Arrieta

Youth career

Arrieta started playing football at the age of 4. As a talented 10-year-old boy, Danilo moved to AGF Aarhus in 1997 and developed into one of the most promising talents in Danish football. His talent was rumoured widely and in 2002, at the age of only 15, he signed a contract with Spanish Valencia CF.

On 12 September 2004 (aged 17) he got his Danish Superliga debut for his childhood team AGF Aarhus in a home game against Viborg FF.
