Robinho seeking Santos stay

[LNB]"It's not easy to convince the English to agree a deal but I trust the leaders of Santos to be successful.[LNB]"I think I belong in Brazil more than the Premier League.[LNB]"My agents have received several offers from clubs in Europe but everything is on hold until Santos meet City."
