Manchester City winger Robinho has reaffirmed his hopes of staying with Santos.

He joined Santos in order to find regular first-team football and give himself the best possible opportunity of making Brazil's World Cup squad.

Robinho has shone back in his homeland and has been included in Dunga's plans ahead of this summer's showpiece in South Africa.

A return to form and international recognition have convinced the talented playmaker that he made the right choice and he is now keen to remain with Santos for the foreseeable future.

"It was a great decision," Robinho said.

"What I wanted was to go to Brazil to prepare and be ready for the World Cup.

"I'm not sure what to expect of my future yet but I hope to stay with Santos."
