In stats shared by Twitter handle CarefreeYouth, it revealed the 15 scorers who have contributed to the 40 goals.
Frank Lampard’s struggling squad have managed just 33.
Forward Ike Ugbo, playing for Cercle Brugge in Belgium, is leading the way with ten goals on loan this term.
Just behind him on six is Albanian Armando Broja who like several Chelsea players in the past is spending the season with Vitesse.
Tariq Uwakwe, with League One Accrington Stanley, joins Kenedy with four goals.
Chelsea currently have three players out on loan in the Premier League -Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Conor Gallagher.
Barkley, with Aston Villa and Gallagher at West Brom have both scored twice.
Loftus-Cheek, who joined local rivals Fulham, has managed just one goal under ex-Chelsea midfielder Scott Parker.
Boss Lampard – currently fighting for his job – is also set to lose out on Fikayo Tomori, with the centre-back close to a loan move to AC Milan.
It is understood Milan are closing in on a temporary deal with the option to make the move permanent.
Despite the success of Chelsea’s loan stars, the first team are in dire form and sit eighth in the table.
With a top four finish and qualification into the Champions League slipping away, Lampard faces turning results around or getting sacked.
