Vitor Pereira has been instrumental in unlocking the full potential of Wolves player Andre, who is quickly becoming a key player for the team. Pereira’s decision to shift Andre to a defensive midfield role has not only provided more freedom for Joao Gomes but has also solidified Wolves’ backline.

High praise has been given to Andre by teammate Dave Edwards, who considers him to be one of the top defensive midfielders in the Premier League. Impressive performances against Everton and Southampton have only reinforced this belief.
After a standout showing in Wolves’ victory against St Mary’s, where he was lauded by Danny Murphy for his ‘quality’, Andre has now earned a call up to the Brazilian national team. Alongside Matheus Cunha, he represented Brazil in the World Cup Qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.
Despite starting on the bench, Andre made a significant impact when he came on in the second half against Colombia. Completing all his passes and showcasing his defensive skills, he impressed Brazilian media outlets such as Correio Braziliense and Globe Esporte.

Andre’s consistency in accurate passing has also caught the attention, as he ranks sixth in the Premier League for pass completion in the 2024/25 season. This achievement is all the more impressive considering he plays for a team fighting relegation, while others on the list are part of top-tier clubs aiming for Champions League qualification or league titles.
