Luke Humphries shows true colours as he makes Luke Littler best player in the world claim Luke Humphries has underlined his class by naming Luke Littler the best player in darts.
Speaking in the post-final press conference, he said via Online Darts: “First of all, I don't want to make it too much about him] - it’s my night - but Luke is the best player in the world.
Littler was knocked out in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the first the World Series events of the year before making the last eight at the Masters, where he fell to an in-form Jonny Clayton in the last eight.

The world No.1’s declaration came despite his victory on the first night of the Premier League in Belfast, where he saw off Nathan Aspinall, Michael van Gerwen and Chris Dobey.
