Darts legend Luke Littler on the cusp of cracking America after being swamped by fans in New York
LUKE LITTLER has had everyone from David Beckham and Rio Ferdinand to Chunkz and Yungfilly clamouring to be his friend after taking the darts world by storm.
And it turns out that the teenage arrows ace is just as popular in the US.
Luke Littler’s popularity in America is soaring and wrestlers are among those looking to greet his arrivalAlamy
Ahead of his first match at the US Masters in New York overnight, I’m told Luke was inundated with requests from WWE greats including William Regal, Cody Rhodes and tag duo Pretty Deadly.
A friend told me: “Luke is living the American dream right now.
“Not only is he going to stand on the oche at Madison Square Garden, a load of wrestlers have asked to meet him.
“Luke is trying to get around to see everyone who wants to meet him, including Cody Rhodes, because Luke wanted to use his famous walk as he went on stage last night.
“This is all still a dream come true for him.”
Luke has been sharing selfies from the Big Apple for the past week and is, deservedly, having the time of his life.
Let’s hope he didn’t get in the ring before throwing his arrows though.
A smack down is the last thing he needs right now.
