Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to succeed the former manager as manager of Wolves.

The previous coach was sacked on the weekend following the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the options to be considered by the Wolves ownership.

Edwards is currently at another club, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the former Luton Town manager - who played over a century of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a leading candidate for the vacancy.

The 42-year-old is said to have support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a new manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work which means Wolves would not need to pay any buyout fee.
