Niko Kranjcar says he is relishing his recent run in the Tottenham team.

Tottenham midfielder Niko Kranjcar has admitted that he is "happy" to be back amongst the first team at White Hart Lane.

The 27-year-old spent much of the early season on the sidelines, but injuries to Rafael Van der Vaart and Aaron Lennon have seen the Croatian drafted back into the team.

Kranjcar has hinted, however, that he may still leave the club in the summer if his chances diminish as the season reaches its climax.

"Of course nobody is happy about the injuries to Van der Vaart and Lennon, but I got my chance because of them and I am happy about that," Kranjcar told Novi list.

"I hope that I have been good enough for our coach. I am disappointed with the injuries I have had, but I am happy to have played in the last few games.

"There is no shame to be a reserve at a club like Tottenham but we will see how many more chances I get before the summer."

Kranjcar joined Tottenham from Portsmouth in 2009.
