Kervin Arriaga

Key strength: Ball retention

Deep-lying playmaker

Deep in the heart of Valencia, Kervin Arriaga patrols the midfield for Levante UD with the quiet authority of a deep-lying playmaker. At 28, the Honduran international operates as the metronome of a side desperately fighting to escape 19th position in the Segunda División. With 1,064 minutes across 17 appearances this season, Arriaga has contributed modestly but crucially—registering one goal and one assist while maintaining a 56-rated passing game that keeps Levante ticking. His ball retention skills have become invaluable as the Granotas navigate troubled waters, with the €1.5 million-valued midfielder often tasked with shielding a backline anchored by the dependable Adrián Dela and initiating attacks toward the attacking trio led by Iván Romero. While his contributions may not always appear on the scoresheet, Arriaga's ability to recycle possession and provide defensive cover offers the stability his relegation-threatened teammates desperately need.
