Music mogul Simon Cowell is keen to line up Harry Styles as a mentor on singing competition "X Factor".

Styles has become the top choice after his debut single and album both topped the charts, reports dailystar.co.uk.

"Everyone is in agreement that Harry would be a ratings winner. His chart positions clearly show he is set to become the biggest solo star from One Direction. Not only does he seem to be a clear fans' favourite he's also being hailed by music critics as well.

"Nothing has been signed yet but Cowell and Co want to make it happen if schedules allow," a source said.
