Louis Tomlinson expected to complete takeover of Doncaster Rovers soon

One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson is set to become co-chairman of Doncaster Rovers next Wednesday (June 11).

The singer, who has previously played for the team's reserves side for charity, is part of a group trying to buy the League One club.

It had been reported that the deal would be announced at 6pm today (June 6) - but this has been postponed.

The BBC report that a deal has been reached in principal, but the hold-up is down to Tomlinson's management group negotiating his image rights.

The singer is expected to become a co-chairman in a silent partner capacity, with former boss John Ryan assuming full-time responsibility.

The team are currently managed by Paul Dickov and they were relegated to League One from the Championship at the end of last season.
