Wolves are set to make a formal approach to Middlesbrough over appointing Rob Edwards as their head coach.
BBC Sport reported on Sunday that Edwards was among the leading contenders to replace Vitor Pereira, who was sacked following a winless start to the Premier League season.
Wolves held talks with former boss Gary O'Neil but the 42-year-old withdrew from the running on Monday.
Edwards has always been a strong candidate with the Molineux club and is now emerging as the club's preferred choice.
It is understood the relegation-threatened club are preparing an official approach to Middlesbrough, who are third in the Championship.
