# Newcastle United: Magpies ‘still monitoring’ Armando Broja

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) are reportedly ‘still monitoring’ Armando Broja ahead of a potential loan move in the January transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Broja on new contract

Speaking before Chelsea beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night, the Albania international claimed that he [loves](https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1587469131850424327) to play for the Blues after signing a new bumper deal in the summer.

The striker has made 15 senior appearances across all competitions so far this season, but has only started in one of those games ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armando-broja/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/571743/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=631&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

### The Latest: Newcastle ‘still monitoring’ Broja

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1587469136229273602), Ben Jacobs has revealed that Newcastle are ‘still monitoring’ Broja ahead of a potential loan move in January, having been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/everton-transfer-news-broja-west-ham-southampton/) with him in the summer.

The CBS Sports journalist said: *“Broja getting minutes under Potter. Everton and Newcastle still monitoring in case a loan (with no option) does become available. But it’s not something Potter or Chelsea are planning for right now even if other attackers come in.”*

### The Verdict: Sensible…

Signing Broja on loan in January could be a sensible move by the Magpies, considering that Alexander Isak has had injury problems and has been ruled out until after the World Cup in Qatar ([Premier Injuries](https://www.premierinjuries.com/teams/newcastle-united)).

Hailed as a striker with [‘incredible pace and strength’](https://twitter.com/Blue_Footy/status/1526649241267064832) by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, the 6 foot 3 Albanian was a menace on loan at Southampton last season, where he managed nine goals and one assist in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armando-broja/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/571743/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=180&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

However, it appears that this may be a difficult deal to execute in January, so Eddie Howe and Newcastle should have other targets prepared in case a move for the Chelsea gem falls through.
