CHELSEA have beaten rivals Tottenham in the race to sign Crewe's teenage hotshot George Nunn.

The 16-year-old has attracted rave reviews after his exploits in the League Two club's Under-16 side.

Nunn scored over 20 goals before he was moved up to their U18 side earlier this year, and he continued his hot streak with two goals from the bench on his debut against Nottingham Forest.

Now he will carry on his development with Antonio Conte's outfit from this summer.

A SunSport source says the youngster has agreed terms on the switch and will link-up with the Blues' U18 squad at the end of the campaign.

Chelsea and Crewe are believed to have agreed a fee of around £300,000 for the prolific marksman.

Spurs have been interested in the forward for the last year after he caught the eye when scoring a hat-trick against their youth team.

But Crewe were determined to fend off the North London giants and keep hold of the ace.

Boss David Artell saying last August: "George is a good player, a good prospect and I'm sure his mum and his dad, who are good people, and he will see his future here."

However, Nunn has turned down the offer of a professional contract with the Railwaymen to move to Stamford Bridge.

Former England internationals Dean Ashton, Danny Murphy and Seth Johnson all progressed through Crewe's academy and went on to enjoy Premier League careers.
