But what can Lilywhites fans expect from Erabi this season in terms of his playing style and what he can bring to the team?
The 23-year-old has been speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire and describes himself as a forward capable of producing a bit of "everything".
"First of all, I would say I'm a team player, which I think is a really important thing because if we have 11 players out there that just want to score themselves, it's going to be difficult," said Erabi, who is of Afghan descent but was born in Sweden.
"I'm a really hardworking striker that likes to help the team in the pressing, in the way we play.
"I like to score goals, of course, contribute points, and just overall for me the win is the most important thing. If I don't score but we win the game, that's the most important thing."
When asked about his specific strengths, he added: "I would say everything, but at the same time, the one thing I think I'm good at is that you can always improve.
"I think my hold-up play is good, the way I press, the intensity, the work ethic and obviously the finishing.
"I love finishing with the head and with my feet, both feet. So it's a little bit of everything, but of course I can improve in everything as well."
