Rob Edwards has agreed a three-and-a-half year deal to become the next Wolves head coach.

Middlesbrough stand to make somewhere in the region of £3m-£4m in compensation.

Edwards has been in talks with Wolves since Saturday after he was stood down from Boro's Championship game against Birmingham and given permission to speak to Molineux chiefs.

A formal announcement is expected in the next 24-48 hours, with Edwards set to take over a side bottom of the Premier League on just two points.

Boro had initially turned down an approach from Wolves, having only hired Edwards in June, but the 42-year-old would subsequently miss Friday's training session and pre-match press conference before the club agreed to let him speak with his former club.
