Robinho wants Tevez at City

Manchester City ace Robinho wants Carlos Tevez to join him at Eastlands.

The Brazilian striker's revelation comes in the wake of Cristiano Ronaldo's £80million transfer to Real Madrid, a deal that could pave the way to Manchester United finally stumping up the £32million they need to secure Tevez's services on a full-time basis.

However, with Tevez making noises that he wants to leave Old Trafford, Robinho has vowed to convince his fellow South American that a move to City would be the right thing to do.

"We would definitely complement City's attack. I hope my club make a move for him," Robinho told The Sun newspaper.

"It would be a pleasure to play with Carlos. He is one of the best players in the world and it is a shame he is not having more opportunities at his current club.

"If he leaves United - as I have been reading in the last few days - and if the interest of City gets confirmed, of course I will try to convince him to join us.

"I am sure we would make a fiercesome duo up front. He is so fast and combative with great technique."
