Orlando Pirates confirmed the arrival of Norwegian striker Sebastian Pedersen from Sogndal Fotball.

The 27-year-old forward has signed a two-year contract with the Buccaneers, which includes an option for an additional season.

Pedersen arrives with an impressive goal-scoring record, having found the net 51 times in his last 117 appearances for his former club.

Here are the reactions from Mzansi as compiled by Afrik-Foot.

One more signing, specifically a number 10, will confirm that we are defending our league –  Gidvvdfgzs Fanifebn 

Thank you, Orlando Pirates, for hearing your supporters’ cry; we really needed a finisher. We have delivered pain in Chloorkop, and Home Made Trophy FC – Thami Ramaila Mashele

Signing Erling Haaland’s cousin, we will be doing the Norwegian row at the Arena – Khulile Dlamini

Mr Wadu is not here to play around. CAF is coming very strong this season. We are also defending our league and one domestic trophy. No more Yanela Mbuthuma misses – Dizzy Sims Simphiwe

The Premier Soccer League must keep an eye on Kaizer Chiefs; they might create their own league and win it – Hazie Darkskinned Boy

On etouch finisher? We had a sniper, but…

Smart bit of business. Pedersen brings serious European miles and a proper defender’s edge, exactly the experience the Bucs need if they want to fight on both the league and CAF fronts this season. Welcome to Mzansi, big man –  PuntWise SA 

How I wish we got him with Relebohile Mofokeng there to feast on those assists, but Patrick Maswanganyi is capable of making them – Ayanda Manyathi 

I trust Norwegian players; there’s good talent in that country. But my worry is, what if we signed a Haaland type of a striker next season? He will be going back to Europe. – Dingaane Jnr Dlamini

I heard that his brother is Haaland to yo Lamthuthu FC; should retire before we send them to retirement – Thanda Mthembu

One touch finisher? We had a sniper who was very good at that. Gone for no reason. Welcome to the team, bro – Delani Sithole
