LUKE LITTLER has warned his Premier League rivals: “I know I have the ability to beat you all.”

And the teenage darts sensation makes his second Prem appearance in Berlin on Thursday — after reaching the semis on his debut in Cardiff.

The Warrington whizzkid, 17, has already avenged last month’s worlds final defeat to Luke Humphries.

Littler has also beaten ex-champs Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross.

Yet he also revealed his incredible debut pro title win in Bahrain — including a stunning nine-darter — was just a “warm-up” for the elite Premier League.

Reflecting on his “crazy” few weeks in the big-time, The Nuke declared: “The world championship was a big step up.

“But I’ve proven I can play with the best, that is why I have got my shot in the Premier League.

“It was good to win on my debut in Bahrain and become the youngest person to hit a nine-darter.

“But it was just match practice for the Premier League.

“Now we’re kicking on and I know I have the ability to beat the best.”

Littler was a relative unknown in December before his phenomenal run to the worlds final at London’s Ally Pally.

But now he has landed a modelling contract with BoohooMan and his own range of arrows and flights with Target Darts.

He added: “It’s just been crazy.

“But I’ve been living how I have been doing — chilling when I have time off but when I’m at darts events, I’m fully focused.”
