The 16-year-old attracted interest from the Premier League’s elite after some promising performances in Crewe’s Under-16 side and he has now been snapped up by Chelsea officials.
Nunn banged in 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. However, he is yet to feature for Crewe’s first team.
It’s thought Crewe will pocket around £300,000 in compensation from the Blues for the youngster and he will continue his development at Stamford Bridge, according to the Sun.
