Club career
Arthur was born in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, and joined Santos' youth setup in November 2012, after representing São Paulo, Uberlândia and Poliesportivo. In January 2015, he signed a two-year professional deal with the former.
In September 2016, after Gabriel's departure to Internazionale, Arthur was called up to train with the main squad by manager Dorival Júnior. He was first included in a matchday squad on 19 October, for a Copa do Brasil match against Internacional, but remained an unused substitute in the 0–2 away loss and subsequent elimination.
On 6 November 2016 Arthur made his first team – and Série A – debut, coming on as a late substitute for Jean Mota in a 2–1 away win against Ponte Preta. The following 4 January, after featuring in one further match with the main squad, he renewed his contract until December 2021.
Arthur scored his first professional goal on 3 February 2017, netting his team's fourth in a 6–2 Campeonato Paulista home routing of Linense.
