Departing Town skipper Carlos Edwards says he’d love to join loan side Millwall on a permanent basis. The 35-year-old's five-year spell with the Blues will come to an end this summer.
"I've been waiting for my phone to ring," Edwards told the Southwark News. "The manager [Ian Holloway] did say that he will get in contact with me - he has to speak to the chairman and the board before making a final decision.
"If it was up to him, he may have signed me straight after the game but there are ways and means of doing business professionally.
"I think he's a man of his word - so if he says he's going to give me or my agent a call, then we will take it from there.
"I'm patiently waiting and I hope I do get a call. Once that happens it should be fairly straightforward. Millwall is a great club, with great fans and a great manager, so even if we had gone down that might have persuaded me to stay.
"But we're still in the Championship and I'd love to be a permanent member of the squad. I think the lads here are a special bunch and we can achieve a lot together."
Wigan are understood to be one of a number of other Championship sides interested in recruiting the full-back or winger, but Millwall is the Trinidad and Tobago international’s preferred destination.
The Lions were unbeaten in his eight games on loan as they escaped relegation with the former Sunderland, Luton and Wrexham man largely playing at right-back and scoring one goal. Millwall are believed to be equally keen to do a deal and talks could open this week.
Edwards made 170 starts and 21 substitute appearances for the Blues, scoring 10 goals, having been signed by Roy Keane from his former club Sunderland for £1.35 million in the summer of 2009.
