These three could be good signings if Lambert becomes the new Wolverhampton Wanderers boss.
Former Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently on the hunt for a new manager after deciding that Walter Zenga was not cutting it after his summer appointment.
The Championship side have been linked with plenty of potential new managers but former Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has emerged as the leading candidate over the past 24 hours.
If Lambert was to head to Wolves, could he bring some of his former Villa players with him?
Here are three potential players for Wolves that played under Lambert at Villa Park:
Aston Villa’s Ashley Westwood in action with Derby’s Jacob Butterfield
Ashley Westwood
The midfielder was a constant presence under Lambert at Villa. Has been in and out of the starting XI this season and many Villa fans would not be disappointed to see the back of him.
His career may be stalling at Villa Park and Lambert would undoubtedly use him a lot.
Derby County’s Andreas Weimann in action against Middlesbrough’s Tomas Kalas
Andreas Weimann
The Austrian emerged as a talent at Villa and Lambert was undoubtedly a fan of the player.
He is however struggling to find his best form at current club Derby County – where he is not playing regularly.
AFC Wimbledon’s Adebayo Azeez in action with Portsmouth’s Enda Stevens

The Irish left-back was a promising player just making his mark at Villa under Lambert before the Scot was fired.
He is now at Portsmouth where he is one of, if not the best, left-back in League Two at present. Wolves would be bringing in a potentially top player with his signature.
