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

The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the team's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous links to the team - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

The manager is presently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

However the former Luton head coach - who played over a century of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they begin the search of hiring a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.

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