The New York Cosmos aren’t done looking for quality midfield players.

On the heels of Juan Arango’s signing last week, EoS has learned the Cosmos are hosting former Tottenham midfielder and Croatian international Niko Kranjcar for training.

Kranjcar, 31, is currently a free agent following his loan deal with Queens Park Rangers last season. He is best known for his time at Tottenham, where he appeared in 77 matches through four seasons, scoring 11 goals at the club. He left England in 2012 to join Dynamo Kyiv in 2012. The Dynamo put Krankcar on loan from 2013-2015 with QPR. He has also been a mainstay with the Croatian National Team, featuring in 81 matches since 2004, scoring 16 goals for the team.

While the Cosmos tell EoS Kranjcar’s arrival is simply a training, sources tell EoS he is likely trialing with the club much as Georgios Samaras did last season, spending the preseason training in New York to get a better feel for the team and the league.
