Mesut Ozil is helping Fenerbahce's efforts to sign Arsenal teammate Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

ESPN says Ozil could offer a solution as to how the Gunners could save some money for transfer business next month.

The attacking midfielder has offered advice to out-of-favour Sokratis about a move to Fenerbahce.

If Papastathopoulos moves to Turkey then that would free up some funds for Arsenal to pursue some top targets, like Diego Costa, that would help them climb up the Premier League table

Costa is a free agent after his release from Atletico Madrid.
