Clubs reap benefits of players at World Cup

Stars like Andre Schurrle helped Chelsea earn more than $1 million from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

The Premier League’s traditional top-four powers have all netted seven-figure sums from last summer’s tournament in Brazil.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City received the hefty payments from Fifa in recognition of their top players’ exploits at the world game’s showpiece event.
