The striker has scored six goals in the Premier League this term, which is more than all of Thomas Tuchel's forwards.
This means the Albania international has netted more times than record £97.5million signing Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The 20-year-old also leads the way in the minutes per goal category as he scores ever 205 minutes compared to Werner, who comes second with 258 minutes.
Broja comes second in minutes per goal or assist with the same return behind Ziyech's 198.
The Saints ace also poses as the best dribbler of the bunch with 1.8 successful dribbles per 90 minutes.
However the stats aren't all good. Broja comes up short in terms of assists, passing accuracy and shots per 90 minutes from inside the penalty area compared to Chelsea's stars.

But he still performs as well or even better than Lukaku in all of the aforementioned categories.
That is after the Belgium international set an unwanted record as he only had seven touches during the west Londoners' win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
That is one of many reasons why Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl wants to sign the young Albanian on a permanent basis this summer.
Hasenhuttl previously said: “He knows how important it is for him as a player to play continuously.
“Here he gets that chance and has shown he fits to us and our shape.
"There are a lot of examples where players after changing clubs do not perform like they have done with us.”
