Internationally, Arp captained Germany's under-17 team to the quarter-finals of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, finishing joint-fourth in the scoring charts with five goals and winning the tournament's Goal of the Tournament award.

Therefore, Arp made his first competitive appearance for the club for the reserves in the 3. Liga. At the end of September, he suffered a scaphoid bone fracture during practice and had to undergo surgery.<ref>{{cite news |title=Goretzka ohne Fäden, Alabas Probelauf, Arp bereits operiert |url=https://www.kicker.de/goretzka_ohne_faeden_alabas_probelauf_arp_bereits_operiert-758779/artikel |work=kicker |date=26 September 2019 |language=de-DE}}</ref> During the international break in November, Arp returned to first-team practice under Kovač's successor Hansi Flick,<ref>{{cite news |title=Arp meldet sich im Mannschaftstraining zurück |url=https://www.kicker.de/arp_meldet_sich_im_mannschaftstraining_zurueck-762437/artikel |work=kicker |date=12 November 2019 |language=de-DE}}</ref> but two days later during practice he suffered a radial bone injury which sidelined him for the remained of the first half of the season.<ref>{{cite news |title=Nach drei Tagen: Arp schon wieder verletzt |url=https://www.kicker.de/nach_drei_tagen_arp_schon_wieder_verletzt-762584/artikel |work=kicker |date=14 November 2019 |language=de-DE}}</ref> During his absence, the one year younger striker Zirkzee was promoted to the professional team by Flick scored two goals in two substitutions.

The season was subsequently interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the resumption of play, Arp made a few more appearances for the reserves before injuring himself as he scored his third season goal for the team, once again sidelining him for some games. Arp finished the season with 3 goals in 12 appearances as Bayern Munich II became 3. Liga champions.<ref name="SW" />
After a disappointing first season in which he failed to make a single Bundesliga appearance, Arp was made a permanent member of the club's secondary team in order to receive more playing time.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kicker.de/stiller-abschied-aus-dem-profi-kader-arps-bewusster-schritt-zurueck-785422/artikel|title=Stiller Abschied aus dem Profi-Kader: Arps bewusster Schritt zurück|publisher=Kicker|date=24 September 2020|last=Linkesch|first=Frank|language=de|access-date=24 September 2020}}</ref> In October, he nevertheless made his first-team debut in the first team when he was substituted in the final phase of the postponed DFB-Pokal first-round match against 1. FC Düren. He also benefited from the fact that numerous Bayern internationals had been on international duties the day before and were therefore not called up by Flick. Thus, in the 3–0 victory, only outfielders of the reserves and U19 were available as replacements.<ref>{{cite news |title=Choupo-Moting trifft doppelt beim Debütanten-Ball: Bayern glanzlos weiter |url=https://www.kicker.de/fc-dueren-gegen-bayern-2020-dfb-pokal-4660443/analyse |work=kicker |date=15 October 2020 |language=de-DE}}</ref> After the game, however, Flick stated: "For him, it is important that he has a home.

Arp's fortunes improved in the 2023–24 season. After only two substitute outings in the first nine fixtures, he broke into the starting line-up in October and began seven of the next eight matches, contributing five goals as Kiel secured the unofficial ''Herbstmeisterschaft'' (autumn championship). A partial adductor tendon tear sustained in the last pre-break fixture sidelined him until late March 2024; during rehabilitation he extended his contract to June 2026.<ref>{{cite web |title=Arp fällt vorerst mit Sehnenanriss im Adduktorenbereich aus |url=https://www.holstein-kiel.de/news-herren/arp-faellt-mit-sehnenanriss-im-adduktorenbereich-aus/ |website=Holstein Kiel |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240103162209/https://www.holstein-kiel.de/news-herren/arp-faellt-mit-sehnenanriss-im-adduktorenbereich-aus/ |archive-date=3 January 2024 |language=de |date=3 January 2024 |url-status=dead |trans-title=Arp sidelined for now with adductor tendon tear}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Scheifers |first1=Niklas |title=Doppelpack: Auch Arp verlängert in Kiel |url=https://www.fussballtransfers.com/a7857438292381251707-auch-arp-verlaengert-in-kiel |access-date=25 June 2025 |work=Fussball Transfers |date=23 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240414100421/https://www.fussballtransfers.com/a7857438292381251707-auch-arp-verlaengert-in-kiel |archive-date=14 April 2024 |language=de |trans-title=Double deal: Arp also extends his contract at Kiel}}</ref> He finished the promotion season with five goals from 17 league appearances (eight starts), and Kiel returned to the Bundesliga as runners-up.<ref name="SW" /><ref>{{cite news |last1=Freytag |first1=Johannes |title=Bundesliga ahoi!
