The new contract for Andre is seen as a statement of intent, with the club looking to retain its best talent. Edwards added, "We want to keep our best players and add quality to the squad. Andre is a big part of that plan."
Andre himself expressed his delight at extending his stay, stating, "I'm happy here and believe in the project. We have a strong squad and I'm confident we can achieve our goals." The midfielder has been instrumental in Wolves' recent form, contributing both defensively and offensively.
