At 23, Andre isn’t just any mid-field maestro; he’s fresh from lifting the Copa Libertadores trophy with Fluminense in 2023 and has his sights set on the Premier League.
Earlier attempts to join Fulham didn’t pan out, but it seems Wolves have snapped him up, making him the club’s sixth new face this summer. He joins the likes of Tommy Doyle, Rodrigo Gomes, Pedro Lima, and Jorgen Strand Larsen, the latter on loan from Celta Vigo.
But here’s the rub: despite the influx of fresh talent, Wolves have had a rocky start to the season. They’ve lost both their opening games, including a 6-2 thumping at home by Chelsea.
This move is clearly a bid to inject some much-needed vigor into the team. Will Andre be the catalyst Wolves need to turn their season around? Only time will tell, but the expectations are as high as the stakes.
