Luke Littler visited St George’s Park to host a darts tournament for the England squad, as Thomas Tuchel’s side prepares for friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
The double world champion had dinner with the players before overseeing the “Three Lions darts championship” on Tuesday night. Despite Phil Foden hitting a 180 in the final, Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale emerged as camp champion, impressing Littler.
Littler, 19, said: “It was a dream as a football fan to come here to see the facilities, meet all the players and sit down and have dinner and have a laugh with them. We played a bit of darts – as they were warming up, Thomas Tuchel told me to teach these boys a lesson! There’s some good potential there in Phil Foden and Aaron Ramsdale. James Trafford had a little bit as well. The others not so much! I wished the boys luck this summer – let’s hope they can bring it home.”
Littler was presented with a signed shirt, and Jude Bellingham gave him a jersey with the message “keep smashing it” on the back.
