Wolves 'set to appoint Rob Edwards after agreeing £2m fee with Middlesbrough for boss' - and Premier League strugglers 'will give new boss funds in January to turn miserable season around'

Wolves are expected to appoint Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards as their new boss on a three-and-a-half-year deal, according to reports. 

The Black Country club have agreed a compensation fee in the region of £2million with Middlesbrough for the 42-year-old, according to The Athletic.

Edwards, who joined the Championship club less than five months ago, is understood to be travelling to the Midlands tomorrow to sign his contract and finalise discussions over his coaching staff.

It means the Welshman could be in the dugout at Molienux on Saturday as Wolves, who are winless this Premier League season, take on Crystal Palace.
