Sunderland boss Lee Johnson has revealed that the club are still waiting for Kryil Louis-Dreyfus takeover to be given the green light from the EFL.
It comes after Louis-Dreyfus watched on as Sunderland limped to a 2-1 defeat away at Shrewsbury Town.
Johnson says that fans should expect to see more of the prospective owner in the coming weeks as he gets his message across prior to a takeover.
There is no immediate update on the completion of the takeover but Johnson said the deal is very close.
Speaking to the press today, Johnson said: "I'll be honest I haven't had any conversations with the the chairman in a while.
"Kyril [ Louis-Dreyfus ] was at the latest game and I expect us to get used to having him around the place.
"Everything I hear is that it's as close as it can get."
