Niko Kranjcar has stated his happiness at returning "home" after re-joining Queens Park Rangers on a season-long loan.

The Croatian playmaker joined from Dynamo Kiev, and has reportedly taken a 65% pay cut to reunite with Harry Redknapp – a manager who has now signed Kranjcar on four separate occasions.

Kranjcar is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail: "It's a great feeling to be back, it feels like home. I felt a special emotion with the club and the fans.

"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."

The R's also signed Brazilian midfielder Sandro from Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day.
