Sheffield United prospective buyer Dozy Mmobuosi has been told his proposed takeover of the club is not yet confirmed.
The Nigerian businessman has already spoke about his love for English football.
He has huge plans to turn Sheffield United into a significant Premier League club.
However, Press Association states that he has yet to answer questions from the Football League.
An EFL statement read: “The EFL notes the comments from Dozy Mmobuosi in respect of a proposed change of control at Sheffield United.
“Whilst the league is in receipt of the share purchase agreement and owners and directors' test declaration, alongside some evidence of source and sufficiency of funding, it has previously raised a number of additional queries with the proposed purchaser and the club.
“The EFL has been awaiting a response on those queries for some time and until the league is satisfied that the requirements of its regulations have been met, it will not process a change of control at the club."
