Armando Broja, a Chelsea attacker, has been advised by former Premier League defender Alan Hutton to go out on loan in January.

Hutton prefers that Broja play for Newcastle United as opposed to Chelsea's bench.

In January, Broja has been mentioned in connection with loan moves to Newcastle and Everton.

Hutton, however, thinks Broja, who has only logged 392 minutes of action for the Blues so far this year, ought to be looking to leave Graham Potter's team in search of more consistent playing time.

“I do not see why not." You want to play football. "He did really well at Southampton; he has gone back to Chelsea, and he’s getting game time,” Hutton told Football Insider.

“Graham Potter is bringing him on off the bench in a lot of the games so far." He’ll feel that he can do a job at Chelsea.”

“Whether that’s going to be from the starting lineup, only Potter will know that.”

“If he’s not going to get the minutes he wants, he has to look somewhere else, and I think Newcastle is a team that is going places at this moment in time." You’d want to be part of that.”

He added, “But, again, if everyone is fit, he probably will not play week in and week out." That is where there is going to be a difficult decision for him. He has to go somewhere to play, not just sit on the bench.
