Don't miss your daily instalment of The Insider every weekday throughout the summer transfer window on these pages.

(INSIDER'S RATING: 0/5 means this deal's pie in the sky. 5/5 and it's a done deal)

McCarthy

Benni McCarthy, Blackburn to Galatasaray - Insider says 2/5

South African hotshot McCarthy undoubtedly would have been keen on joining a club Champions League but a move to Turkey is unlikely to have appealed. Expect other Premier League clubs to launch a raid for the striker before the end of the transfer window and Rovers may struggle to hold on to him. Roque Santa Cruz is another forward that may not start next season at Ewood Park with Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham interested in the former Bayern Munich man. An offer in the region of £12m would likely capture the Paraguayan.

Moutinho

Joao Moutinho, Sporting Lisbon to Everton - Insider says 4/5

The Toffees are still expected to eventually secure the signature of the Portuguese star but the two clubs remain a little way off in their respective valuations. The signing of Moutinho, probably in the region of £14million, would be the glamour signing Toffee fans have craved during a frustrating summer. Manager David Moyes could follow that signing up with the purchase of Alan Smith from Newcastle if the north east side are prepared to take a hefty cut off their asking price.

Shittu

Danny Shittu, Watford to Bolton - Insider says 4/5

are set to sign Shittu in a surprise £2million deal and he had a medical on Sunday night. Gary Megson wants to plug the defensive gap that will be left by Abdoulaye Meite who is expected to move to Hull. Shittu rejected a move to Rangers in the hope of securing a Premier League move and should get his wish later today.

Bullard

Jimmy Bullard, Fulham to Everton - Insider says 2/5

The future of high-octane midfielder Bullard is undoubtedly uncertain after Fulham refused to discuss a contract extension and talks between the two parties have failed to bear fruit.

Bullard has been linked with a return to Wigan as well as moves to Middlesbrough and Bolton but Everton are also closely monitoring events.

Forlan

Diego Forlan, Atletico Madrid to Tottenham - Insider says 1/5

Tottenham's interest in the former Manchester United forward has been on-off since January. The Spanish side are reluctant to sell and initially slapped a price tag of around £25m on his head. Newcastle are also monitoring the situation and Forlan's brother, who is also his agent, is away of the interest from the Premier League. But few suitors would go above £15million.

Robinho

Robinho, Real Madrid to Chelsea - Insider says 2/5

Chelsea's interest in Robinho is as strong as ever but Real are still looking for another marquee signing before the Brazilian will be allowed to leave.

After missing out on Cristiano Ronaldo Real's machinations towards Valencia's David Villa mean the Blues target may soon be able to join the Stamford Bridge outfit.
