Andre
Wolves brought Brazilian midfielder Andre from Fluminense on the summer 2024 deadline day.
The Brazil international follows a similar path to Joao Gomes and Pedro Lima in moving directly from his home nation to Wolves and the Premier League.
A physical defensive midfielder, who relishes a tackle, Andre began his journey with Fluminense at the age of 12 and, having progressed through the system, made his senior debut seven years later.
The following season, which ran through the calendar year of 2021, Andre announced himself in senior football, establishing himself as a regular and bagging a first career goal – a last-gasp winner at local rivals Flamengo, for whom Gomes featured.
By 2023 he was appearing in a Copa Libertadores final – the South American Champions League – where Fluminense lifted the trophy for the first time at the expense of Boca Juniors, which led to a Club World Cup appearance against Manchester City.
Following that success Andre and Fluminense won the Recopa Sudamericana – the South American Super Cup – to sit alongside two Taca Guanabara titles and two Campeonato Carioca successes, meaning the midfielder leaves Brazil with six honours to his name.
Success with Fluminense naturally led to Brazil caps, with the midfielder joining Wolves having made almost 200 appearances for his boyhood club.

Andre first made his international bow in 2023, having not been called up by his country throughout the youth age groups, and just missing out on a final spot in the Brazil squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
His national team debut finally arrived on 20th June 2023, as the midfielder came off the bench in the 74th minute to replace Lucas Paqueta in a friendly match against Senegal.
Andre has since featured a further four times for Brazil, including against Spain in a 3-3 draw in March 2024, but missed out on a place in the Copa America squad later that summer due to a knee injury.
