Happy Robinho wants to stay at Santos

(GSM) – Robinho has stressed his desire to extend his loan stay at Santos and hopes talks have already been initiated with Manchester City.

Robinho returned to Santos in January signing a six-month loan deal that is set to expire on 4 August.

The Brazilian forward, who spent the first three seasons of his career at Santos, instantly managed to make an impact for his new club and he already scored five goals in eight matches.

The Brazil international puts his re-found goalscoring prowess down to his happiness.

“It was the right choice,” said Robinho. “I’m good physically and mentally. I hope to continue like this until the end of my spell at Santos.

“Where I have to be happiest is within the four lines of the pitch, and this is happening.

“I intend to continue for long. I hope that the board is already addressing this issue. You just have to look at my face to see my desire to stay at the club.”
