Manchester City ace Robinho has urged Blues boss Mark Hughes to sign Samuel Eto'o.

With Carlos Tevez's arrival from Manchester United set to be confirmed shortly, the Brazil international has revealed that he is already delighted with the fact that City have acquired the services of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa and, earlier this week, Roque Santa Cruz from local rivals Blackburn Rovers.

However, Robinho now wants the club's wealthy Arab owners to dip into their pockets once again to land Eto'o in a further bid to outdo bitter city rivals United.

"We want to make City the biggest club in Manchester and win titles, as many as possible," he told The Sun newspaper.

"If Eto'o comes too he will add even more talent to the squad.

"We need four top-quality forwards because the season is so tough in England.

"I hope the club keep signing players with that quality. If so, we will be almost unbeatable.

"A player like Santa Cruz is more than welcome and I've heard a deal for Carlos will be sorted very soon.

"That would be great because Tevez is a world-class talent and I would be happy to play alongside him.

"It is very good to know my club is going for top-quality players like these. Now I hope we can get Eto'o as well.

"Is the club chasing too many strikers? No, I don't think so - Manchester City wants to be among the top teams in the Premier League and in Europe.

"To do that they must have at least three or maybe four top-quality strikers.

"The season in England, with the league and the cups, all the games we play is very demanding.

"But I'm not scared of the competition. If Santa Cruz and Eto'o come to City, they are talented players and I will work as always to make sure of my spot in the team."
