"He is a joy to work with, and his desire to improve is evident," Andrews said.

"His performance this season has been outstanding, and it's clear to see why he's been so successful. The statistics show it, and his ability to consistently produce high-quality performances has been impressive," Andrews added.

Thiago's impact on the team has been significant, and he's proven himself to be a valuable player for Brentford.

With his contract set to expire in 2029, Thiago's future is being closely watched by other clubs, including Aston Villa, who see him as a potential replacement for Ollie Watkins.

Thiago's impressive start to the season, including becoming the fastest Brentford player to reach double figures in the Premier League, has cemented his status as one of the league's top finishers, particularly from the penalty spot.
