Chelsea have signed Crewe Alexandra's teenage striker George Nunn.

The 16-year-old has not made a first team appearance, but has been a prolific scorer at junior level and was also a target for Tottenham.

Crewe will receive about £300,000 in compensation plus add-ons from Chelsea for Nunn, who hails from Nantwich, and has made the step up to under-18 level this season.
