Screenwriter Adrian Butchart, who is responsible for the Goal film franchise, has admitted that the Tomlinson is in his sights as a potential leading man.
The 24-year-old is a massive football fan and was actually signed on a non-contract basis by Doncaster.

"We are looking at a few actors," Butchart told The Daily Mail. "Zac Effron and Robert Pattinson are two favorites, however One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is also very much on our radar, he's apparently a great footballer, he can act and he's from South Yorkshire so the accent won't be a problem for him.
“In fact we hear he's a Jamie Vardy fan, he even tweeted Jamie when he broke the goal scoring record in November."

It's understood that Buthchart is set to visit England in the next few weeks to meet former Foxes manager Nigel Pearson, who signed the striker for a mere £1 million in 2012, as well as England boss Roy Hodgson, who handed Vardy his first international call-up last May.Explore more on these topics:
