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

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

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have historic links to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.

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

However the former Luton manager - who played over a century of appearances for the club during his playing career - is said to be a leading contender for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys backing from the club board as they begin the process of appointing a fresh head coach.

O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United player is out of work meaning Wolves would not be required to pay any buyout fee.
