Commenting on the transfer on Wolves’ official website, sporting director Hobbs admitted that the deal felt like it had been a ‘long time in the making’.
“It feels like a long time in the making. He’s got the same agent as Joao Gomes and is a player we talked about when we did Joao.
“We hadn’t been in a financial position in other windows to do it, when we were interested. It’s one that I thought we were going to miss out on, so I’m unbelievably excited to have him come and join us.”
Andre has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs, including the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal, as per 90min.
It is however Wolves who have acquired the 23-year-old’s signature, as he embarks on a European adventure for the first time in his budding career.
