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. Being from Gothenburg, it was expected that he would sign for IFK Göteborg. In the spring of 2004 Källström moved to the French club Rennes, where he played together with fellow former Djurgården player Andreas Isaksson.
Källström made his international debut in 2001 against Finland. He played for his country at Euro 2004 and has been capped 31 times scoring 4 goals, as of December 2005. His nickname is Kongo-Kim.
Källström had an extremely impressive showing in the 2006 World Cup for Sweden. He replaced Svensson for a starting spot against Paraguay, England, and Germany. He had several superb shots as well as an overall impressive showing, both offensively and defensively. On May 26 2006, he signed with French league champions Olympique Lyonnais.
