Club career
Born in Naples, Izzo began his youth career with hometown's Napoli, and was subsequently loaned to Triestina.
On 31 January 2012 Izzo joined Lega Pro side Avellino in a co-ownership deal, after his previous club was bankrupt.
On 24 August 2013 Arini made his Serie B debut, starting in a 2–1 home success over Novara; his first goal came on 7 March of the following year, in a 1–0 success at Empoli.
On 14 July 2014, Izzo moved to the top-flight side Genoa after playing for a two-and-a-half year with team Avellino. On 5 October 2014 made his Serie A debut, substituting Maxime Lestienne in a 2–1 away success over Parma.
International career
On 5 November 2016, Izzo was called up to the senior squad for the first time for 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualification match against Liechtenstein and friendly match against Germany.
Match-fixing
On 23 May 2016, Izzo, along with midfielders Luca Pini and Francesco Millesi, was put under investigation by the anti-mafia police department in Naples (DDA) after being accused of being directly involved with a Camorra clan based in Secondigliano in altering the results of the Serie B matches Modena–Avellino (1–0) from 17 March 2014, and Avellino–Reggina (3–0) from 25 May 2014. On 3 March 2017, the Italian Football Federation's prosecutor asked for Izzo to be suspended for six years, also requesting that collateral estoppel be applied, and demanded that he should receive a €20,000 fine. On 12 April, he received an 18-month ban from football and was also fined €50,000. On 19 May his ban was reduced to six months.
