Brazil international Robinho hopes Manchester City are able to bring Carlos Tevez to Eastlands this summer.

The Argentinian has spent the last two seasons on loan at Manchester United but his future remains unclear.

Sir Alex Ferguson may try to keep Tevez at Old Trafford now that Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be heading to Real Madrid but Robinho is keen to play alongside his fellow South American at City.

He told The Sun: "He would definitely complement City's attack. I hope my club make a move for him.

"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."
