One Direction star Louis Tomlinson in Doncaster takeover talks

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is ready to buyout Doncaster Rovers.

Tomlinson now plans to take his love for the club one step further - by joining forces with businessman John Ryan, who previously owned the club before selling off a large share to a consortium, reports The Sun.

The pair are said to be in the process of setting up a trust to buy the recently-relegated side and negotiations of a formal bid are said to be at an 'advanced stage'.

It is thought Tomlinson and Mr Ryan - who still owns a quarter share of the club - will act as co-chairmen if their bid is successful.
