Stars will only leave if it is right for Wolves - Edwards

Wolves boss Rob Edwards refused to rule out the Premier League strugglers losing some stars this month - but it will only be for the right reasons.

Bottom of the table and considerably adrift of safety, Wolves could see players picked off by rivals during the January transfer window.

Midfielder Joao Gomes has been linked with Crystal Palace while West Ham have backed away from Jorgen Strand Larsen after Wolves asked for £40m.

Wolves need to plan ahead, with relegation to the Championship likely, but departures will only be on their terms.

Edwards, who takes his side to Everton on Wednesday, said: "There will be interest in a number of our players I would have thought, especially with the position we're in and we've got some really good players.

"We're under no pressure to do anything if we don't think it's right for the football club. None of us want to weaken the team in this window or any window going forward. We always want to try to be in a stronger position.

"That's always our aim and as the head coach now, that's what I'm pushing for, that's always what I want.

"We're in a unique position, one not many teams have been in in the Premier League before at this stage of the season.

"We'll always try to make the right decision for the football club going forward but we always want to try to be stronger coming out of every window."
