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."

"If Carlos comes to City, and if the club manages to get two or three players of the same quality we can aspire to big things.

"This season was not our best, but this was also our first year together and I don't regret the option I made a year ago. In the coming season fans can definitely expect to see us in the top spots of the league," Robinho added.
