How this January transfer window will impact the World Cup

This January Transfer window, there was an explosion in the market and a dramatic increase in money spent  month. In fact, the Premier league spent a record of £150 million this window, with HUGE moves happening. Stars and very solid players made moves all across Europe to new teams. While these moves are exciting at a club level, they could also have larger implications for the World Cup later this year. Aubameyang to Arsenal; Olivier Giroud to Chelsea; Batshuayi to Dortmund This move was the biggest of all the moves, simply because of the magnitude of this move. All three strikers were unsettled in their clubs and this move perfectly lined up for all three teams. Aubameyang will move to Arsenal, and play alongside Lacazette and Ozil. Giroud, on the other hand, moves to Chelsea in order to have more playing time. He's had a rough season so far, and hopes to find his stride once again in a new system at Chlesea, and hopes it will be enough to make the final French call up...
