One Direction's Harry Styles is playing the role of a matchmaker. Reports claim that the curly-haired cutie has been trying to set his sister, Gemma, with band mate, Niall Horan. Could this possibly lead to an actual romantic affair?

Niall Horan has been linked to a number of women of which include Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez and Barbara Palvin. Yet, it seems Horan's lady love could just be a breath away. In a report by the Daily Mail, Styles has been setting up his older sister with Horan.

"Harry thinks Gemma's had a crush on Niall for a while. At first, they were just mates, but as they got to know one another recently, they've become more relaxed in each other's company and it seems it's turned into her fancying him," says a source to Heat magazine.

Yet, Niall has been oblivious to Gemma's feelings according to the report.

"He'll punch her in the arm and make jokes like they're mates. They're in touch all the time. Niall's so earnest and a real trier. She loves that," added the source.

Would the set up between Gemma Styles and Niall Horan bloom into something more than friendship? Also, this isn't the first time Harry's sister has eyed a hot boy band member. Back in May, reports claimed Gemma Styles was dating Ashton Irwin of the Australian band, Five Seconds of Summer (5SOS).

On the other hand, Niall Horan is reportedly single after his romance with Victoria's Secret model, Barbara Palvin ended in March. The Irish cutie has then been linked once more to Selena Gomez who has been suffering from a bad break-up from Canadian crooner, Justin Bieber.

As for Harry Styles, reports claim that he's currently in a feud with Zayn Malik due to the former "only being interested in himself."

"It's Zayn and Louis against the others - Harry, Liam and Niall are furious. They had a dramatic meeting last week and Harry was the first to lash out, telling them they'd messed everything up. But Zayn turned it around on Harry and accused him of only being interested in himself. Poor Niall has been in tears - he's worried this could be the end of the band," states a source to Closer magazine (via Sugarscape).
