Edwards, 41, is on Ipswich Town’s radar following their promotion to the Premier League.
The Tractor Boys were led to the top flight by Kieran McKenna following back-to-back promotions from League One.
However, the former Manchester United manager is gaining interest from existing Premier League sides.
Brighton and Hove Albion are interested in McKenna following Roberto De Zerbi’s shock departure from the club.
The Italian has been linked with moves to European giants such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and AC Milan.
Chelsea and Man United have also been reported to be interested in the Northern Irishman.
TalkSPORT claimed Ipswich could make a move for Edwards if McKenna left Portman Road.
Edwards has a lease at Kenilworth Road which is believed to run until 2026.

This means the Prem newcomers will have to reach an agreement with the Hatters to capture the manager.
Brighton CEO Paul Barber admitted the club were monitoring potential managers before De Zerbi confirmed his departure.
He said: “I’m not going to go into names, Roberto has barely left this place.
“But obviously we have a style of play and we are realistic about our ambitions.
“We don’t wait for a coach to leave to start work.
“Part of our process is knowing who our next coach could be before it actually needs to happen.”
