Wolves have a serious player on their hands in Andre Trindade.
The Brazilian had a fairly low-key start to life at Molineux following his move from Fluminense in the summer of 2024.
Andre was not an immediate regular for Wolves, with Gary O’Neil putting his faith in the likes of Joao Gomes and Mario Lemina.
Famously, O’Neil said Andre struggled with the detail of the game against Manchester City, after taking him off at half-time.
The notion of Andre being taken off in any game at half-time now – aside from the player struggling with an injury – is certainly laughable.
Since Vitor Pereira came in, the South American seems to have gone to a new level and is standing out every time he takes to the field.
And his class has been acknowledged by the fans – and also Pedro Lima.

Andre would have been a deserving Player of the Month winner for March at Wolves.
MORE WOLVES STORIES
And the supporters saw fit to vote for him, and then some.
Andre was the runaway winner of the latest SUDU award, claiming 40.4% of the supporters’ vote, easily beating off competition from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (15.4%), Marshall Munetsi (14.1%), Emmanuel Agbadou (9.2%) and Jorgen Strand Larsen (7.1%).
It is the second time Andre has won Player of the Month at Wolves, after he triumphed back in September.
The standout performance from Andre in March probably came against Everton.
Andre set a 2024/25 Premier League record for most possessions won in the middle third (11), and then followed that up with another fine showing against Southampton.
Andre marked his Player of the Month win with a post on Instagram – and hundreds of fans congratulated him.
He also received a comment from Pedro Lima, who left a comment that plenty of fans will firmly agree with.
He wrote ‘Monstro 🔥’, which of course translates to ‘Monster 🔥’.
Andre is going from strength to strength at Wolves
It is a joy to watch Andre play football.
He makes the game look easy, but his role is very complex, so it just shows what a top player he is that he can look so comfortable.
He is always available at the base of midfielder and very rarely gives the ball away when he has it.

He can keep possession ticking, take the ball under pressure, and also break the lines.
Furthermore, Andre is tenacious. Perhaps not on the same level as his midfield partner Joao Gomes. But he’s definitely happy to put a foot in. And also cheers successful challenges, which fans love to see.
He’s also a great dribbler. Data from March showed Andre actually had 100% dribble success rate, the highest of any Wolves player.
Wolves simply have a gem on their hands, and it’s now dawning on people why there was actually a bit of surprise that Wanderers beat off the competition to sign him last summer.
