Arsénio made his debut in the top level on 18 August 2013, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute in a 0–3 loss to Rio Ave FC. In the following transfer window, he was loaned to Moreirense F.C. in division two, scoring three times[3][4] to help his team achieve promotion as champions;[5] subsequently, the move was made permanent for two years.[6]
On 18 June 2015, Arsénio joined Bulgarian side PFC Litex Lovech.[7] His first competitive appearance took place on 2 July, as he featured 77 minutes in a 1–1 draw at FK Jelgava for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[8] He netted his first goal in the league late in that month, helping his team to a 2–2 away draw against PFC Levski Sofia.[9]
