Phil Taylor has admitted he's open to the possibility of mentoring darts prodigy Luke Littler.
However, the 17-year-old would have to give up his beloved games console in order for that to happen.
Littler is seen as the heir to Taylor on these shores, with the youngster shining ever since his electrifying run to the final of the World Darts Championship.
He is currently second in the Premier League, with the youngster winning the night in Belfast on Thursday.

Taylor is a huge Littler fan and has been impressed by the maturity of his performances so far.
And the darts legend is open to coaching Littler - but did joke the 17-year-old would need to give up his beloved games console.
Taylor got the consoles mixed up, too. He says the prodigy would need to give up his PlayStation, when he's actually an Xbox player.
"I couldn't do it like most people do it, I'd have to be hands on," Taylor told Online Darts.
"Everything would be there for you and I'd be knocking at your door at 10 in the morning.
"Luke wouldn't be playing on his PlayStation and I could improve Luke one hundred per cent, no trouble.
"I say hundred per cent, when he's on form I couldn't make him any better!"
Littler is a huge gamer and loves spending time on FIFA.
The teenager previously livestreamed himself and girlfriend Eloise Milburn playing the popular football game.
Yet Littler did deny meeting Eloise online, insisting they actually met through mutual friends instead.
While Littler has been outstanding, he has sparked minor controversy with his antics at the oche over the past few months.
Some fans have accused the teenager of being a bad loser whenever he fails to come out on top.
But Taylor has blasted back at critics of Littler, defending the darts star by saying: "He's a great little player.
"I like his attitude towards the game and I like that he's got that little bit of a needle when he gets beat.
"Some people call it arrogance, it's nothing to do with that. The lad knows his ability and knows he can do better.
