Niko Kranjcar joins New York Cosmos

Former Portsmouth attacker Niko Kranjcar has joined North American side New York Cosmos.

The 31-year-old had been training with the NASL team since January after leaving Dynamo Kiev on a free transfer.

"I've enjoyed my time training with the Cosmos, working with these players and coaches has been a great experience. I think the style of play here suits me well, and I'm excited to officially represent the club on the field this season," the former FA Cup winner told reporters.

Kranjcar, who has 81 Croatian caps to his name, also represented Tottenham Hotspur between 2009 and 2012.
