Andrews expects Thiago to make Brazil's World Cup squad this summer.
"We are a little bit of a part of that journey that he's been on," Andrews said.
"We feel very attached, we're so close to him and his journey and the steps that he's made this season in particular.
"The public eye, his game and his goals and the type of person he is that everyone's seeing now, it's a lovely feeling.
"(Interest) will be just the natural way of the footballing world.
"We've got a striker who's playing particularly well in the best league in the world and scoring substantial goals.
"We're very hopeful that he will go to the World Cup. Obviously it's a dream for him to represent his country, which we've touched on before.
"And if he gets chosen, we'll be really proud of him."
