Chelsea
have beaten Tottenham Hotspur to the signing of Crewe Alexandra youngster,
George Nunn.
The striker rejected a deal to stay with the
League Two side.
Nunn,
16, had attracted interest from the Premier League’s elite after some promising
performances in Crewe’s Under-16 side.
Chelsea officials have now snapped up the
player.
Nunn scored more than 20 goals before being
promoted to the U18 team and he scored a double from the bench on his debut for
that outfit.
The 16-year-old has, however, not featured for
Crewe’s first team.
Chelsea paid Crewe around £300,000 for the
youngster.
The Sun, UK, reports that Nunn will continue his
development at the Stamford Bridge.
Spurs had been sniffing around the forward but
he snubbed a move to White Hart Lane.
