Paul Arriola
31-Year-Old
Seattle Sounders FC
MLS
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Arriola had yet another disappointing season during 2024 despite featuring in 31 matches, compiling five goals and two assists, a far cry from the 10 goals and five assists compiled in 2022. However, a change of scenery may help rejuvenate his career, as he is joining former Dallas teammate Jesus Ferreira in Seattle. He should see a spot in the starting XI with his new team immediately, likely replacing the spot Leo Chu once held after his move to Dallas in the Ferriera trade. That said, Arriola is likely to see plenty of opportunities, leaving it upon himself to convert and make the best of this move, as he will be joined by plenty of solid talent along with fellow veterans of the game while on the field with his new team.
Features in pre-season friendly
Arriola (knee) played 30 minutes in Thursday's pre-season 3-0 defeat against Metalist 1925, confirming he is back available for Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Arriola completed his return from a long term ACL injury suffered in March 2025 after logging half an hour in Thursday's preseason friendly against Metalist 1925. This is excellent news for the Sounders, as the forward will be able to continue building match fitness ahead of the season opener against the Colorado Rapids on Feb. 22 and is expected to play a solid role in the frontline once fully up to speed.
