Niko Kranjcar has completed his transfer to Dynamo Kiev, the Ukrainian club have announced.

The 27-year-old midfielder revealed on Wednesday that Tottenham had reached an agreement with Dynamo over a deal, and his new employers confirmed the transfer in a statement on their website.

"After successful negotiations, Niko Kranjcar has signed a four-year contract with Dynamo Kiev," the statement read.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp signed Kranjcar from Portsmouth in 2009 and he made a big impact in his first campaign, scoring five goals and providing many assists from the left flank in 32 appearances.

But the emergence of Gareth Bale meant the Croatian dropped down the pecking order the following season and only made nine Barclays Premier League starts in 2011/12, although his campaign was curtailed by a knee injury.
