Darts sensation Luke Littler leaves Arsenal stars Aaron Ramsdale and Declan Rice starstruck and desperate for a photo

Luke Littler's fame has skyrocketed so much that even Arsenal stars are gunning to get a picture with him.

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.

Arsenal stars Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale were on hand to snap a photo with Littler, who revealed it was them who asked for it.

«Just about go to the room and the security says these 2 want a picture crazyyy!!» he said in the caption on his story.

Meanwhile, Ramsdale wrote on his own Instagram story: «Met the most famous 16 year old in the world at the minute! Absolutely flying the boy.»

Rice and Ramsdale are gearing up for Arsenal's huge clash against West Ham on Thursday night, live on talkSPORT.

But it seems as though they still had enough time to meet the latest star to emerge in the world of darts.

Littler has beaten Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding and Campbell on his way to the last 16, with Van Barneveld or Jim Williams up next.

He has been quick to become a fan favourite at Alexandra Palace, with Michael van Gerwen describing him as a 'big talent.'

The teenager has so far earned £35,000 worth of prize money and told talkSPORT how he wishes to spend his earnings.
