The 20-year-old singer along with another investor, are said to be putting together a bid to buy the club. Tomlinson is an avid Doncaster Rovers fan, and even played a game with them earlier this year, reported Independent.
"He's putting everything into it. This is his passion project - and it will happen. He's putting everything into it because of his love for the side," a source said.
Louis is reportedly working with John Ryan, a former owner of the club who sold it to another group.
"John is the business brains. He's incredibly experienced and Louis is learning so much from him. They want the deal to go through by July in time for the start of the new season. It's at an advanced stage," the source said.
