While fans are eagerly waiting for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to get back together, it seems like the "Baby" singer has landed himself some competition.

One Direction singer Niall Horan reportedly wants to date his ex-flame Selena Gomez again. Niall and Selena sparked dating rumors when they embraced each other in a sweet hug after Niall's "This Town" performance.

Their interaction did not stop there. After the AMA event, Niall reportedly started following Selena on Instagram. Niall has also admitted that he finds Selena Gomez very beautiful in a new video with Wild 949, as per INQUISITR. .

According to Hollywood Life, just days after the AMAs, Niall Horan appeared in a radio chat with LA's 102.7 KISS-FM and the One Direction singer simply poured out his romantic aspirations for Selena Gomez.

The chat host Ryan Seacrest couldn't help but ask the One Direction member  about his current love life during the interview. Ryan told him that fans want him to rekindle with Selena, but will it be possible or does he already have a girlfriend.

Niall announced that currently he is very much single, following which Ryan again suggested that he should rekindle with Selena Gomez. To this Niall stated, "Sort it out."

It seems like Niall wants to restart something with Selena again. Announcing that he is single and then suggesting his interest in sorting it out with Selena is definitely a big telltale sign.

But what about Justin Bieber, for whom Selena is still very emotional. Hollywood Life reports that during the interview with Wild 949, one host asked Niall whether he is willing to fight Justin Bieber.

Justin seems to be still in love with Selena Gomez. And if he gets rejected, the first person he'll be seeking out would be Niall.

The 1D singer was definitely taken aback with this question. But just before the video cuts out it sounds like Niall replied, "I'm friends with him, so...!" Well, seeing how much of a peace loving person he is, it's no surprise that he may not get into a brawl because of a girl.

However, according to an insider, Selena Gomez is not ready for any kind of relationship right now. "Selena is flattered by what Niall had to say to Ryan, but part of her recovery involves no serious relationships," said the source.

"In fact, for the time being she's been advised not to date. Plus, dating is pretty much the last thing on her mind now. She is focused on herself and spending time with close friends," the source added.

It seems like unrequited love for Justin Bieber's ex Selena Gomez will leave Niall heartbroken.
