Manchester City star Robinho is moving out of his hotel after splashing out over £2.5 million on a new house.

The converted barn has five bedrooms, four bedrooms, a swimming pool and 15 acres around which he can drive his new white Lambourgini.

Builders have been busy putting up a marquee as the 24-year-old prepares to spend Christmas at his new home with long-term girlfriend Vivian, son Robson jnr and family flown in from Brazil.

The former Santos forward will dip further into his £8.3m salary to bring in a snow machine and create the kind of Christmas he never had in Sao Paulo!

And neighbours now include Wayne and Coleen Rooney, Andrew and Rachel Flintoff, Rio Ferdinand and his girlfriend Rebecca Ellison, and lady's man Cristiano Ronaldo.
