Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton would consider a permanent move to Spain following his loan switch to Real Mallorca. Hutton is currently with the Primera Liga outfit until the end of the season after leaving Villa Park during the January transfer window.

"It's been a brilliant new experience for myself and I am really enjoying every minute of it," Hutton told Sky Sports.

"It was a bit crazy [how the move came about] one January afternoon my agent told me this could be on cards and it was one I wasn't really expecting, but when I knew they were interested I wanted to grab it with both hands and experience it for myself.

"I think certain times in your career when you get offers like this you have to take it.

"It is something totally different from what I am used to and I thought it would make me into a better player overall to try something new and in my mind I had to do it."

Hutton admits he is yet to have any discussions with Mallorca over a possible permanent move as he is focused on helping to climb away from relegation from La Liga.

"I have not as such had any talks about staying as obviously it is hard at the moment as we are fighting with everything we have got to try and stay up," noted Hutton.

"It is probably the wrong time to discuss things as we have four games left and we will see how things go and take it from when the season finishes."
