Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early candidates under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolves.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match without a victory beginning to the top-flight season.

And both candidates - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a possible obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.

The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they start the process of hiring a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by Wolves in December last year.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
