Daniela Arques
Profile
After spending her early career in Spain, Arques joined Sporting in July 2025 and played 32 games and provided three assists last season, establishing herself as a key figure in the midfield.
The 20-year-old’s progression, which includes successive European titles at youth levels and with significant senior experience already gained at a young age, means she has established a strong foundation for the next stage of her career in London.
Arques began her development with SMX Athletic Club de Murcia, where she played from 2016 to 2021.
She then joined Alhama CF progressing into the senior team and making her first-team debut as a teenager. Her performances earned her a move to Levante UD in 2023, where she gained valuable experience competing in Spain’s top division.
Arques has also represented Spain at youth international level, winning the UEFA U16 Development Tournament in 2022 before becoming a two-time UEFA European Women’s U19 champion in both 2024 and 2025 where she became one of several players to win the U19 title in consecutive years.
