Behind the byline

About Yusuf Kocaman

Yusuf Kocaman is the editor in chief of TransferNews and is responsible for everything the site publishes.

He set the editorial rules the newsroom works to: every story names the outlet and journalist it originated with, every rumour carries a status label that reflects the reliability of its sourcing rather than the confidence of its wording, and no report is presented as new if it is not. He signs off the site's rumour confidence scores and decides when a developing story is updated rather than republished.

Before taking on the editor role, Yusuf built the TransferNews transfer database, and he still oversees it. His own reporting concentrates on the Bundesliga and the Turkish Süper Lig, and on the movement of players between those leagues, the Premier League and Serie A, where fee structures and loan-with-obligation deals are often misreported by the time they reach the English press.

He reads the German and Turkish press in the original and is responsible for the site's corrections policy. Complaints about accuracy, requests for corrections and challenges to any TransferNews story should be addressed to him through the corrections page.
