Newcastle United's takeover may have hit a problem, according to the Telegraph's Luke Edwards.The Magpies reporter has regularly provided supporters with updates throughout this whole process and this week he issued his thoughts about the situation on talkSPORT and it makes for worrying news.A clip from his interviews was posted to Twitter, which can be viewed below, but the journalist went on to say that he believes there 'obviously is a problem' in regards to the Premier League's owners and directors test.

Edwards also claims there has been an air of anxiety in the Magpies fanbase as a result of differing reports coming from different camps, he said: "the longer it goes on, you naturally start to worry that they'll find a way to block it and I think that's where we are at the moment."
