Ronaldo isn't the ONLY player using the World Cup as a shop window to secure a January move... Tielemans could secure his Leicester exit with starring role for Belgium, while Ziyech and Pulisic need to shine with both out of favour at Chelsea

No competition in world football provides a better shop window for out-of-favour players than the FIFA World Cup.

With the 2018 tournament in Russia raking in a record-breaking 3.5billion viewers worldwide, the World Cup can single-handedly boom or bust a player's stock in the upcoming January transfer market.

It's therefore no surprise that Manchester United outcast Cristiano Ronaldo chose this week to drop his explosive bombshell interview with Piers Morgan to the world, using the World Cup break as an opportunity to remind potential suitors of his otherworldly talents - and his desire to move.
