Club career

Karlström started out his career playing for Hammarby Fotboll at the age of six. When he turned nine the coach of his team moved to IF Brommapojkarna and brought his entire youth team along with him to the new club, including Karlström.[2]

Shortly after his eighteenth birthday in 2013, Karlström made his Allsvenskan debut for Brommapojkarna away against Kalmar FF.[3] At the start of the next year he scored for the first time when his game-winning goal in the last game of the 2013–14 Svenska Cupen group stage qualified the club for the knockout stage of the tournament.[4] A few months later he also scored his first league goal in the 3–0 home win against IFK Norrköping.[5]

Brommapojkarna were relegated at the end of the 2014 Allsvenskan season, but Karlström had performed well enough to be signed by the larger Stockholm club Djurgårdens IF on a four-year deal.[6] Ahead of 2017 Karlström had his shirt number changed from 22 to 6. On 10 May 2018 he played as Djurgarden beat Malmö FF 3–0 in the Swedish Cup Final.[7]

In 2019 Jesper crowned himself as a Swedish champion as part of the Djurgårdens IF team that won the Swedish league for a twelfth time.[8] Jesper contributed with the 2–1 goal in the remarkable second-half comeback to win the title.[9]

Jesper Karlström came in second place in the stay and play cup 2020.
