When it comes to experienced, solid midfielders, teams in the top flight could do a lot worse than Wolves’ Dave Edwards.
The praise for 30-year-old Dave Edwards has been growing as the years have gone on, with the midfielder constantly churning out top performances for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Whilst he may not be the most technically gifted player in the country, the Welshman has the burning passion that you rarely see within the modern football landscape.
Whether it’s his ability to instinctively get on the end of a loose ball or always find himself in a great position, Edwards has such a naturally great footballing mind that more than makes up for any deficiencies throughout the rest of his game.

It seems as if Edwards will likely remain at Molineux for the foreseeable future after signing a new contract, but there a number of teams in the Premier League that should be taking a look at the veteran midfielder. He isn’t too old, he has top flight experience and you’re almost always guaranteed to get a solid performance out of the guy.
Edwards prides himself on loyalty and whilst a move away would be considered controversial to many, the Championship is a tougher league than ever before. Who knows when Wolves are going to finally reach the promised land once again, and by the time they get there it could be too late for ‘Dangerous Dave’ to make an impact.
Such an established and professional star like Dave Edwards needs to be appreciated on the biggest stage of all once again.
