Teenage darts whizz Luke Littler is cashing in on his newfound fame by selling worn match shirts for a whopping £800.
The 17-year-old arrows ace, who made history as the youngest finalist in the PDC World Darts Championship, is offering fans the chance to own a piece of sports memorabilia with signed and framed shirts. However, The Mirror reported punters will need to have deep pockets considering the products are going for as much as £799.99 a pop.
The Warrington wonderkid, dubbed "The Nuke", has been taking the darts world by storm since he clinched the PDC world youth title last year. Despite a 7-4 defeat in the senior world final to Luke Humphries, Littler's star power has soared and led to lucrative merch deals.

Having inked a lucrative deal with popular online outfitters BoohooMAN, The Nuke received the title of "generational talent" by opponent Joe Cullen this past Sunday. This acclaim comes in the wake of his triumphant Austrian Open win in Graz, where he eclipsed his fellow Englishman 8-4 to bag a second European Tour title.
On receiving his victor's green jacket, an elated Luke professed: "I'm just happy to get over the line again. This weekend has been good, my darts have been good, and the crowd really helped me."
The teenage phenomenon is currently making a clean sweep at the Premier League table with three event wins under his belt so far this season. Littler has already guaranteed a top-four finish and a place in the finals with three nights to spare as the competition resumes in Aberdeen on Thursday.
