THE INSIDER: Tottenham bide time on expensive Edinson Cavani - plus more gosspip
Simon Jones is Sportsmail's man on the inside of all the major transfer moves this summer. [LNB] His column, published every weekday, offers an insight into the deals which will be done and those that won't - and why. [LNB]A 5/5-rating means The Insider reckons it's a done deal; 0/5 means The Insider has his mortgage on it not happening.[LNB]Don't miss your daily instalment of The Insider every weekday through the transfer window here at MailOnline.[LNB]On the move: Nugent[LNB]David NugentPortsmouth to Rangers - The Insider says: 2/5The 25-year-old one time England international will leave Portsmouth this summer and has a few possible options. [LNB]Rangers are interested but Nugent would have to take a pay cut and Portsmouth would prefer to have more cash than Rangers can offer. [LNB]Nugent would kickstart his carer in Scotland, where goals are easier to find, and has the added carrot of playing in the Champions League. [LNB]However, Nugent believes he can establish himself in the Premier League and is hopeful that Bolton come in with an offer.[LNB]Portsmouth want around £2.5million for the ex-Preston man and other clubs will be tempted though maybe towards the end of the window.[LNB]Rangers will look at alternatives including former Wigan target Georgie Welcome.[LNB]Earning his Spurs? Palermo's Edinson Cavani (right) is also tempting City[LNB]Edinson CavaniPalermo to Tottenham - The Insider says: 2/5 Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has a couple of targets in mind this summer but his priority is getting the right striker in. [LNB]He and his scouting staff like Cavani, Radamel Falcao, Edin Dzeko, Diego Forlan, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Luis Fabiano but there are pros and cons to each. [LNB]Primarily the concerns revolve around budget, age and value for money. Cavani is expensive at £25m and Manchester City have also posted an interest in the 23-year-old to put a sparkle in the eyes of the Palermo president - so a deal would not be straight forward. [LNB]Redknapp is a fan but may need to offload Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko before he can bring in what he wants. City defender Micah Richards remains on his possible incomings too.[LNB]Goodison goodbye: Yakubu (right) is on his way to West Ham[LNB]Yakubu Everton to West Ham - The Insider says: 4/5Everton manager David Moyes wants to add a new dimension to his attack next season and may be forced to make sacrifices to finance that. [LNB]Yakubu is a big crowd favourite but has obviously struggled to regain his old sharpness following his serious Achilles injury suffered 18 months ago. [LNB]He scored six goals last season in over 30 appearances but struggled again towards the end of the season. [LNB]West Ham manager Avram Grant knows Yakubu well though and is looking for someone who can guarantee Premier League goals whether alongside Carlton Cole, Thierry Henry or someone else. [LNB]West Ham have made two bids with the latest, at £7m, being rejected. One more push may do the trick with Everton keen on Craig Bellamy, Martin Petrov and others.[LNB]Marlon HarewoodAston Villa to Celtic - The Insider says: 3/5Harewood is battling back to full fitness after breaking a metatarsal while training in January. [LNB]The 30-year-old represents a decent free transfer as he is powerful and quick and still has a few years left in his locker. [LNB]He has often proved that with a run of games he can build up confidence and be a handful. [LNB]Frustrated: Harewood (right) has had few opportunities to impress at Villa Park[LNB][LNB] He has interest from abroad, notably Turkey, and Championship sides such as Sheffield United and Portsmouth. [LNB]But Celtic also have him in mind as they weigh up potential targets - again limited by what they can spend. [LNB]Neil Lennon is determined to make Celtic a potent attacking force again and Harewood's barnstorming style would get the fans going and he would fit into their budget. [LNB]Like Nugent, Harewood may have better offers towards the end of the window.[LNB] More from Simon Jones - The Insider...
