Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a potential obstacle to his appointment at Molineux.
Nevertheless the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of appearances for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.
The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.
