Swansea scored just 51 goals in the Championship last season, which was the same number as Plymouth Argyle, who were relegated in 23rd.

The Swedish top division campaign started in March, and so far Erabi has four goals in 15 appearances for Hammarby.

Last season, the young striker managed eight league goals in 24 appearances, as well as picking up two assists.

Erabi has also featured eight times for the Sweden under-21 side, scoring four goals in total.

Meanwhile, Chuba Akpom has agreed a deal with Ipswich Town after rejecting an offer from Birmingham City, sources have told Football Insider.

The Ajax striker, 29, has held talks with both Championship clubs as he plots a return to English football.

Akpom has reached an agreement with Ipswich and is set to complete a move soon.

Birmingham are said to be “gutted” to have missed out on the former Arsenal and Middlesbrough star, who has an impressive track record in England’s second tier.
