Zoran Arsenić (born 2 June 1994) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ekstraklasa club Legia Warsaw.
Club career
[edit]Coming from the NK Osijek academy, Arsenić was ceded to NK Višnjevac during his first U19 year, where he gathered a couple of senior caps in the Treća HNL Istok. Returning to Osijek, he made his first team debut on 22 June 2013, as a starter in a 1–2 home loss against NK Lokomotiva.[2] Not long afterwards, he was sent on loan to Druga HNL side HNK Segesta, where he spent most of the 2013–14 season, and the following season to NK Sesvete, playing in the same tier. He settled as a regular at NK Osijek at the start of the 2015–16 season.
On 4 January 2017, Arsenić signed a contract with Wisła Kraków valid from 1 July 2017.[3] On 17 May 2018, he signed a contract extension that tied him to Wisła until 2022. However, due to Wisła's regulatory difficulties his contract was dissolved by mutual consent in January 2019.
On 16 January 2019, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Jagiellonia Białystok. On 7 September 2020, Arsenić was loaned out to Rijeka. On 24 February 2021, he was loaned out to Raków Częstochowa, whom he later joined on a permanent basis in the summer of 2021.
On 25 May 2026, Arsenić signed for Legia Warsaw. He scored his first goal for Legia on 24 July 2026, on his debut against Pogoń Szczecin during the first matchday of the 2026–27 Ekstraklasa season.
