Trippier, 35, joins on a free transfer after leaving Newcastle United when his contract expired. He made 160 appearances for the Magpies after joining from Atlético de Madrid in January 2022 and earned 54 England caps. Edwards was explicit about what the appointment means.
"We know what we've lacked this year, and we know what we need next year — experience, leadership, resilient characters and strong characters. That's what we're going to need in abundance, and Tripps ticks every box."
Jiménez, 35, is not yet confirmed but negotiations are under way. He left Fulham on Monday when his contract expired and scored 57 goals in 166 appearances for Wolves between 2018 and 2023 — making him the club's all-time leading Premier League scorer with 40 goals.
He is currently with Mexico's World Cup squad ahead of the tournament opener against South Africa on Thursday.
Wolves finished bottom of the Premier League this past season with just 20 points from 38 matches and are now preparing for their first Championship campaign in eight years.
