Early life

Club career
Early 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 the national cup tournament Svenska Cupen in 2002. Scored twice in the UEFA Cup against Shamrock Rovers and FC Copenhagen. During the 2002 season, he was Djurgården's overall and league top scorer.
He was a part of the young Djurgården epoque in Swedish football during the early 2000s (decade) together with Andreas Isaksson, Johan Elmander, Louay Chanko, Tobias Hysén, and Mikael Dorsin.
Stade Rennais
In the January 2004 transfer window, Källström moved to the French club Stade Rennais.
Olympique Lyonnais

FC Spartak Moscow
On July 28, 2012 it was announced that Kim signed with FC Spartak Moscow for €3 million and €600,000 variables.
