Wolves extended their sensational Premier League winning streak to six matches with a commanding performance against a relegated Leicester City, and Matheus Cunha made sure to publicly acknowledge the growing influence of midfield dynamo Andre following the game.
Currently the form team in the division, Wolves showed their class once again at Molineux with a confident 3-0 win over the Foxes. Although Leicester arrived with nothing left to lose, they were outclassed by a Wolves side brimming with belief under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Cunha continued his stellar campaign by bagging his 15th Premier League goal of the season, matching the debut-season tally once set by Raul Jimenez. Jorgen Strand Larsen also found the net, while Rodrigo Gomes capped off a clinical counterattack with a composed finish.
But while the forwards made headlines, it was the commanding display in midfield from Andre that caught the attention of fans and teammates alike. The 22-year-old Brazilian has developed into a key figure in Wolves’ setup, having steadily grown in stature since his £21 million move from Fluminense. Initially under the radar, Andre is now indispensable in the heart of the pitch, providing relentless energy and intelligence beside Joao Gomes.
After the match, Andre posted a simple “Happy” on Instagram to mark the team’s emphatic victory. Among the flood of responses from fellow players, it was Matheus Cunha’s reply that stood out—an appreciative nod from one Brazilian standout to another, acknowledging Andre’s excellence on the pitch.
Supporters will undoubtedly echo Cunha’s sentiment. Andre, who recently earned the club’s Player of the Month accolade, was once again dominant against Leicester. He completed 48 of 52 passes—an impressive 92.3% success rate—including one key pass. His defensive contributions were equally remarkable, with seven tackles, three interceptions, and six ball recoveries highlighting his all-round impact.
Although Cunha is widely expected to move on this summer—potentially to Manchester United—his admiration for Andre reflects the growing belief that Wolves have unearthed their next Brazilian gem. As one star prepares for a potential exit, another is clearly rising in his place, offering hope and excitement for the future at Molineux.
