Thiago, who has 11 goals in 13 league games this season, is rivalling the likes of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (14 goals) for the Premier League golden boot in what is a campaign nobody expected from the Brazilian.
The 24-year-old has been world-class so far under Andrews, who was keen to highlight the striker in his latest press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
"He is a dream to work with. As a person, his hunger and appetite to get better is impressive.
"He is having a fantastic season, it doesn’t take a genius to see that. The numbers will tell you that, the performances he produces consistently well, how well he has integrated into the way they are playing and with individuals.
"He is making a real impact on how we are playing and proving to be a big player for us."
The Norwegian, who is under contract until the summer of 2029, is already attracting attention from Aston Villa who see the striker as a successor to Ollie Watkins who has 1 goal so far this season.
After making just one start for the Bees last season, with a meniscus injury and a joint infection restricting his game time, Thiago became the fastest Brentford player to reach double figures in the Premier League over the weekend. His 5 penalty goals from the spot also cements him as one of the deadliest finishers in the league as he continues to impress.
