Club career

Early career

[edit]

Born in Benin City in 1999, Arase moved to Vienna's Donaustadt district at the age of six.[2] He started his football career with SR Donaufeld Wien's youth team in 2009. In 2011, Arase moved to Rapid Wien's youth team.[3]

Rapid Wien

[edit]

On 19 September 2016, he made his Austrian Bundesliga debut against SV Mattersburg at Allianz Stadion, replacing Louis Schaub at the 86th minute by coach Mike Büskens.[4] On 25 November 2017, Arase signed a new two and a half year contract with the club until summer 2020.[5] He scored his first goal for the club in the Austrian Cup against SV Allerheiligen on 21 July 2019, scoring in the 90th+2nd minute.[6]

On 27 August 2018, Arase was loaned out to SV Horn as a co-operation player, re-joining his former Rapid coach Carsten Jancker.[7]

After making 7 competitive appearances, on 13 August 2019, Arase was loaned out to SV Ried, again as a co-operation player, which means that Rapid Wien can recall him at any time.[6] However, he was recalled after only two weeks due to injuries in the Rapid Wien squad.[8]

Karlsruher SC

On 24 March 2022, Arase was announced at Karlsruher SC on a three year contract.[9]

On 20 January 2023, Arase was loaned to Oostende in Belgium until the end of the 2022–23 season.[10]
