Luton midfielder poised for Molineux move

Wolves have agreed a deal to sign Wales international David Edwards from Luton Town. The midfielder is discussing a move to Molineux after Luton's administrators accepted a bid believed to be in the region of £675,000. Edwards only joined Luton from Shrewsbury Town last summer, but the League One club's dire financial situation has prompted a swift exit. "We have agreed terms with the administrators at Luton Town for David Edwards, but the player has not yet signed," Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey told the club's official website, with the Championship side also finalising a deal for Plymouth striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Quick deal
The deal for Edwards could go through before the weekend, although the 21-year-old had asked to delay the switch for a few days. Luton face Swansea City on Saturday before an FA Cup replay at Liverpool next week, however, the administrators rejected Edwards' request. Hatters assistant manager Sam Ellis told Luton Today: "David Edwards asked Wolverhampton Wanderers whether they could put the deal off till after next Tuesday, but the administrator turned down that request. "They are the two biggest games this season."
