Niko Kranjcar completes Queens Park Rangers switch

Dynamo Kiev playmaker Niko Kranjcar joins Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan.

Queens Park Rangers have completed the loan signing of Niko Kranjcar.

The Croatian has joined the club from Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev for the remainder of the current Premier League season.

Kranjcar spent last season on loan at QPR and worked under Hoops boss Harry Redknapp during their time at Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur.

"It's a great feeling to be back, it feels like home. I felt a special emotion with the club and the fans," said the playmaker.

"The fans were phenomenal last season. I had a great relationship with them and hopefully it's only going to get better. I really feel happy here, at a club where I really want to play, and I play with all my heart. I can't wait for my season to start with QPR.

"I believe I still have something to prove, for myself and for all the fans. The Premier League is a lot more physical than it was in the past but I'm looking forward to it. I have no doubt this club is going to be in the Premier League for a long time."

Kranjcar, who featured in 31 matches during his last stint at Loftus Road, is said to have taken a 66% pay cut to rejoin the London club.
