WOLVES have asked about Frank Lampard’s availability to replace Nuno Espirito Santo, according to reports.
And the former Chelsea boss is thought to be considering a return to management.
The Molineux club parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo after four years at the end of the season and are beginning the hunt for a replacement.
And talkSPORT state they have begun ‘very discreet enquiries’ into the possibility of bringing Lampard in.
The former Blues midfielder was sacked as Stamford Bridge chief in January after 18 months in charge with Thomas Tuchel going in.
But with a season at Derby under his belt before his Chelsea spell, he is looking to get back into the game.
Lampard told the Daily Telegraph: “What I wake up with every day is: ‘I want to work again’.
“I love the idea of trying to improve individuals or a squad. I’ve become addicted to that.
“The minute I stepped into Derby to this minute now, it’s something I feel compelled to do. I want to manage a huge club again and I want to manage it to success.”
He has taken charge of 141 matches in his managerial career with 68 wins, 34 draws and 39 defeats.

Crystal Palace have also been linked with Lampard with talks already taking place.
The Eagles are on the hunt to find Roy Hodgson’s successor while West Brom may try and lure him back to the Championship for a promotion push next term.
Reports this week suggested Lampard is set to split from assistant Jody Morris before their returns to the game.
At Wolves, meanwhile, the club continued negotiations with former Benfica poss Bruno Lage regarding the vacant spot in the dugout.
As revealed by SunSport, the Portuguese gaffer, 45, landed in England on Monday.
He remains the heavy odds-on favourite to take over from Nuno this summer.
Compatriots Sergio Conçeiçao and Paulo Fonesca were also on Wolves’ shortlist.
