De Sousa now is dreaming big and has set his stall out at winning the title and taking it home. While he knows it’s a big task, it’s one he is up for.
"I never expect anything in darts, you have to work for success. But if I can do it I will be a very, very happy man.
"At the start of the Premier League I was disappointed, I felt I deserved better results and I got a bit unlucky with my doubles.
"But I keep pushing and pushing to get better, which you have to when you are playing top players every night.
"It's nice to spend a little time at home with family at the moment, it feels like a holiday after being away for so long!

"But now I'm looking forward to getting back and I can't wait to play in front of the crowd. It's always nice to see the crowd at the darts enjoying themselves - I hope to hit a lot of 180s for them!"
