Darts sensation Littler leaves Arsenal duo starstruck and desperate for a photo

The 16-year-old darts prodigy has taken the PDC World Championship by storm as he reached the last 16 of the tournament on Wednesday.

Competing in his first outing at the tournament, Littler beat Matt Campbell 4-1 to become the youngest ever player to reach this stage.

He could now be set to face darts icon Raymond van Barneveld on what has so far been a fairy tale journey at the top of the sport.

Littler will be getting the practice in ahead of his next match as well as some much needed rest amid a whirlwind few days.

Taking to Instagram, he posted a picture of himself in his hotel foyer, but he wasn't alone as two Premier League players joined him.
