Louis Tomlinson says playing Jamie Vardy in a biopic about his life would be a "golden opportunity".

The One Direction star has been slated to play the Leicester City striker in a film about the former non-league player's rise to fame.

The 24-year-old singer is in fact a Doncaster Rovers fan, but that didn't stop him attending Jamie Vardy's recent wedding to Rebekah Nicholson.

Leicester City, who faced relegation last season, won the Premier League title in what has been described as one of the greatest sporting stories of all time.
