Edwards along with Gary O'Neil represent the early names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the team's 10-match winless start to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
