Eye-watering earnings of darts duo Luke Humphries and Luke Littler revealed

The English pair have raked in an incredible amount of cash over the past two trophy-laden years
Big-earners Luke Humphries and Luke Littler has raked in more than £3million in ranking prize money over two incredible years.
And the remarkable English duo have pocketed even more in terms of winning non-ranking cash as they storm through the game.
‌
Humphries and Littler are headed to London's O2 looking to capture the BetMGM Premier League crown for 2025 and the chance to add more to their pots with £275,000 on offer to the winner of the showpiece which also includes Gerwyn Price and Nathan Aspinall. The World Cup-bound pair have scooped the game's major prizes through a stunning run with Humphries taking the crown as the highest-earning player over the past two years, securing over £1.6 million in ranking prize money.
‌
Cool Hand also has monies to be added from non-ranking events such as Premier League nights, World Cups and World Series events. Littler can smash through the £1 million mark for 2025 alone in total earnings if he wins at the O2 with £60,000 secured for six nightly wins already added to his pot. Humphries has three nightly wins for £30,000 and both also have sets of £30,000 gold darts for hitting nine-darters.
WDF Professional and OLBG Darts Editor Matt Edgar commented: 'Thousands of darts fans will descend on London's O2 Arena on Thursday as the Premier League Finals take place. Fans are in for an enthralling night, as Luke Littler takes on Gerywn Price, while Luke Humphries faces a showdown against Nathan Aspinall, with all four players setting their sights on the lucrative prize money.'
'As a reward for making it to Thursday's final, all four semi-finalists are guaranteed to walk away with £85,000. However, the prize on offer for the winner is much more attractive. Thursday's prize purse will see the runner up take home £125,000, while the winner will scoop £275,000, which for Humphries and Littler, would add to their already impressive earnings over the past two years.'
'Both Humphries and Littler have been the standout players over recent years and both of their impeccable performances have made them the highest-earning players. Between the two, over £3 million in earnings have been secured combined, which goes to show how lucrative darts is becoming as its popularity continues to surge.'

Emi Martinez 'pushing for Man Utd move' after Andrea Onana update

Emiliano Martinez continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United whilst Marcus Rashford is ready to return to his boyhood club despite his issues with Ruben Amorim Manchester United's summer has made a lot of noise but so far the only major transfer to take place in the arrival of Matheus Cunha - who joined from Wolves for just over £60million. The Red Devils remain on the hunt for more firepower but look as if they could miss out on Viktor Gyokeres, who would prefer to head elsewhere. The club are keen on Bryan Mbeumo but have had offers rejected as Brentford hold out for their hefty asking price. ‌ A new goalkeeper could also be on Ruben Amorim 's radar after seeing Andre Onana make a number of notable errors. He has been linked with the exit door despite having a desire to prove he can cut in at Old Trafford. ‌ Replacements have been eyed though with World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez cited as a possible summer target. His future has been the subject of speculation, even if Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has dismissed any suggestion he could leave. Here's the latest transfer rumours from the red side of Manchester. Martinez holding out for move Martinez is already sold on the idea of joining United this summer and is said to have rebuffed offers from 'big-hitters' in the hope of pushing through a dream switch to Old Trafford. There has been speculation that Martinez could move on with Villa potentially needing to sell in order to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules. The Sun now claims that Martinez is 'desperate' to push through a move to United despite the fact that the Red Devils are coming off the back of their worst ever Premier League campaign. And it's even been suggested that the Villa star has ignored offers from other top clubs in order to remain available for United. A source told the publication: 'Emi is big pals with Argentina team-mate Lisandro Martinez and is keen to move. He has already knocked back a couple of big hitters in the hope of joining United. Rashford's return plan Marcus Rashford is planning to return to training with United next month if a deal for him to leave the club hasn't been agreed, according to ESPN. The forward spent the last six months out on loan at Aston Villa after being frozen out under Amorim. ‌ No bids have yet been received despite well documented interest in Rashford and, as things stand, the 27-year-old will report back to Carrington to begin his pre-season preparations. It is understood that Amorim is yet to make a decision about whether Rashford and a number of the other fringe players will join the team on their summer tour to the United States. Antony, Alejandro Garnacho or Jadon Sancho all face uncertain futures and may not been included. ‌ Monaco eye two Prem keepers - including Onana Monaco are torn between pursing two Premier League goalkeepers but could yet offer Andre Onana a route out of Manchester after two difficult years. French outlet L'Equipe have claimed that Monaco are looking to add a new shotstopper to their squad. They want to upgrade their current options with Radoslaw Madecki and Philipp Kohn currently on their books. Onana is one player who has been shortlisted along with Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic. Onana has remained the No 1 at Old Trafford, albeit he was dropped briefly last term, whilst Petrovic has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge as Robert Sanchez established himself as first choice.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola would consider managing in South America

The Manchester City boss is revelling in the multi-cultural atmosphere at the Club World Cup and admits the football in countries such as Brazil and Argentina holds huge appeal. Guardiola has not necessarily got any plans to leave the Etihad Stadium – and has two years remaining on his contract – but did not reject the idea when asked ahead of City's clash with Al Ain in Atlanta. The Spaniard said: 'Why not? Many, many good things in all history that happen in football – many, many good things – come from South America. 'You know, from Brazil – especially Brazil – Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay. I would say all the countries, many, many good things. 'The greatest players come from there, and after most of them come to Europe because of the opportunities economically and prestige. 'They're incredible. I love, love, love it when you're in this tournament and you play South American teams. 'This culture, the way their fans live every single action is what it is all about. We have to live this competition.' Guardiola has made clear he is taking the current tournament very seriously. City side opened their campaign at the expanded global event in the United States with a comfortable 2-0 win over Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca on Wednesday. They return to action – and can secure a place in the last 16 – when they take on Al Ain of Abu Dhabi in Atlanta on Sunday night (2am Monday BST). The event has so far received a mixed reception, and there are concerns over how it could impact the start of the 2025-26 season, but Guardiola is determined not to hold anything back. He said: 'Once we are here, I want to be doing the best. I want to enjoy that moment here. 'We can say it's annoying coming here but the other side is like, well, it's one time every four years that we are here and I want to be back. You have to win big prizes to be here. 'I want to arrive in the last stages – I want to go there. That's the truth, I've said it many times. It is an honour to be here.' Guardiola has said that he would like to trim his squad for the next Premier League campaign and there has been speculation linking former captain Ilkay Gundogan with Galatasaray. The 34-year-old rejoined the club last summer after a one-year spell at Barcelona. Guardiola said: 'No news, good news. I don't know anything, I didn't speak with him. If he will not be part (of the squad), he would not be here. 'At the same time, we have – right now – too many players. Step by step maybe a few players are going to move. 'But, right now, Ilkay is absolutely part of my mind and the team.'
