Overview
- An announcement is understood to be imminent after Middlesbrough granted permission for talks and stood Edwards down following Wolves’ first formal approach last Thursday night.
- Reports differ on compensation, with Teesside Live citing around £4m and the Shropshire Star reporting about £2m alongside a three-and-a-half-year contract.
- Coverage describes fierce backlash on Teesside, with Edwards labelled persona non grata by some fans and anti-Edwards chants during Saturday’s win over Birmingham City.
- Sources told Football Insider that January spending could be limited, with Wolves likely to prioritise loan deals rather than major permanent signings.
- Edwards takes on a daunting task as Wolves sit last with two points from 11 games, with his first match expected after the international break at home to Crystal Palace.
