China League One side Shanghai Tellace loaned Arzú for the 2012 campaign. The club won the title and promotion in his sole season in China. After returning to Victoria for the first part of 2013, he found himself on the move again later in the year after agreeing to play for Suchitepéquez of the Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Guatemala. He netted on his debut, scoring the third goal of a 4–1 home win over Xelajú on 4 August 2013. Arzú had subsequent spells with Vida, Barillas and Deportivo Jocotán, prior to a short return to Victoria in 2016. Arzú joined USA's Gulf Coast Premier League team Motagua New Orleans in 2016.
