Nathan Aspinall has revealed that he believes Luke Littler could retire from darts ‘in about five years’ ahead of the Premier League Darts Play-Offs on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nathan Aspinall Makes Luke Littler Retirement Claim<\/h2>\n

Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Nathan Aspinall and Gerwyn Price will all take to the stage at the O2 Arena for the Premier League Darts Play-Offs<\/a> on Thursday, and ‘The Asp’ has made an interesting claim about ‘The Nuke’ ahead of the action.<\/p>\n

Littler will kick off the action in the English capital against ‘The Iceman’ in the first semi-final at around 19:15, before Aspinall takes on world No. 1 ‘Cool Hand’ in the second semi-final around an hour later.<\/p>\n

All four players reached the final stage of the Premier League after finishing in the top four of the regular phase’s league table and having already scooped up a minimum of \u00a385,000 each, \u00a3275,000 is on offer for the winner.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with talkSPORT<\/em>, Aspinall, who could face Littler in the final, says that he believes the 18-year-old could retire in around five years’ time in favour of becoming an influencer.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he believes ‘The Nuke’ will beat Phil Taylor’s record of 16 World Darts Championship wins, he said: “No. I think he’ll be off in about five years!<\/p>\n

“He’s 18, isn’t he? He does a lot of YouTube and stuff like that. He’s mates with AngryGinge. I can see him going down that path, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

“He’s already getting fed up of playing and travelling all the time, and he’s only been doing it for 12 months. So I don’t think he’ll be around 16 years, let alone winning 16 world titles. If he does, fair play to him – but I can’t see it.”<\/p>\n
