Darts hero Luke Littler spotted with Arsenal duo ahead of West Ham clash

Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsdale and Declan Rice have been spotted posing alongside darts sensation Luke Littler ahead of this evening's Premier League clash between against West Ham United. The north Londoners can return to the top of the table if they are able to defeat the Hammers at the Emirates Stadium, with Liverpool currently two points clear of their title rivals, albeit they have played an extra match.

Ahead of kickoff, Gunners stars Ramsdale and Rice posed for a picture with darts hero Littler, who posted the snap on his Instagram story. «Just about go to the room and the security says these 2 want a picture crazyyy!!», he captioned the picture.

Littler has taken the darts world by storm in recent weeks, reaching the last 16 of the PDC World Championship, a feat that is even more impressive when you consider that he is still just 16 years old. Ramsdale also posted the picture on his social media account.

The England international's photo was accompanied by the caption: «Met the most famous 16 year old in the world at the minute! Absolutely flying the boy.»

Ramsdale has found himself on the bench for the majority of this season, with summer signing David Raya displacing him as Mikel Arteta's number-one goalkeeper. Raya has started 13 of Arsenal's last 14 Premier League fixtures and five of his side's six UEFA Champions League outings, clearly ahead of Ramsdale in the current pecking order.
