Edwards along with O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.

Pereira was sacked on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the Premier League season.

And Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

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

Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played 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 Wolves board as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.

Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in December last year.

The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
