Kim Källström (Swedish pronunciation: [kɪm ˈɕɛl.ˈstrœm]; born 24 August 1982 in Sandviken) is a left-footed Swedish midfielder playing for the Swedish national team and Olympique Lyonnais. He has a powerful shot, which once knocked out his team-mate Andreas Isaksson during training prior to the 2006 World Cup. He is a box-to-box type of midfielder however, he has sometimes been fielded as a left winger. He is best known for his passing, although his crossing is very accurate, and left-footed long-range strikes.

Club career

Källström's first professional club in Sweden was BK Häcken from Gothenburg but his big breakthrough in Sweden came when he moved to Djurgårdens IF in 2002, where he won the Swedish Allsvenskan in 2002 and 2003 and svenskacupen"Swedish Cup" 2002. Scored twice in the UEFA Cup against Shamrock Rovers and FC Copenhagen .

Olympique Lyonnais

On May 26, 2006, he signed with French league champions Olympique Lyonnais, and helped them to capture their 6th straight league title, the following season.
