Behind the byline

About TransferNews Editorial Desk

The TransferNews Editorial Desk is the shared byline for work produced by the newsroom as a whole rather than by a single reporter.

It appears on short confirmations of completed transfers, daily and window roundups, corrections and clarifications, and pages built from the TransferNews transfer database, including player transfer histories, club spending summaries and league totals.

Everything published under this byline is checked against the same rules as the site's named reporting: the originating source is identified, fees are recorded as reported rather than rounded or inflated, and loans, free transfers and undisclosed deals are labelled as such so they are not confused with permanent paid moves.

The desk is overseen by editor in chief Yusuf Kocaman. The reporters who contribute to it are listed on the Authors page, and each has their own profile and beat.

Corrections and queries about anything carrying this byline can be sent through the corrections page.
