Career

IFK Göteborg

Wikström started playing football for Partille IF, before joining the IFK Göteborg academy at age 13. Both his uncle Peter "Erra" Eriksson and his grandfather Per-Erik "Perra" Eriksson have previously played for the club.
Wikström made his senior debut for IFK Göteborg on 11 June 2018 in an 8–1 win over a selected team from Dalarna in a friendly match at Åvallen in Nyhammar. In December 2018, Wikström signed a three-year professional contract which saw him permanently promoted to the first team. He scored on his competitive debut on 17 February 2019, helping Blåvitt to a 2–0 win in Svenska Cupen against Nyköpings BIS.
He made his Allsvenskan debut several months later, on 13 July 2019, in a 1–1 draw against Falkenbergs FF, where he came on as a substitute in injury time for Victor Wernersson. In a match against Falkenbergs FF on 12 August 2019, Wikström made his debut from the start, but was forced off after only 4 minutes with a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury.

AFC Eskilstuna (loan)

In March 2021, Wikström signed a one-season loan deal with AFC Eskilstuna competing in Superettan. He made his debut as a starter for the club on 12 April in a 0–0 draw against Västerås SK. He finished his tenure with the club with 11 appearances.

Brøndby

On 29 July 2021, Wikström signed a four-year contract with defending Danish Superliga champions Brøndby, for an undisclosed fee. In September 2021, he suffered a shoulder injury, sidelining him for the rest of the year.
On 16 June 2022, it was confirmed that Wikström would spend the upcoming 2022–23 season on loan at newly relegated Danish 1st Division club SønderjyskE, to gain experience. He made 33 appearances for the club, scoring three goals. He returned to Brøndby at the end of his loan spell. However, he was deemed a surplus in the club's defence after pre-season.

Mjällby AIF

On 21 August 2023, Allsvenskan club Mjällby AIF announced they had reached a deal to sign Wikström on a contract until 2026. He made his debut for the club on 27 August, replacing Noah Eile in the 70th minute of a 3–0 home loss to Hammarby. On 18 September, he made his first start for Mjällby in a 2–0 away victory against IFK Norrköping.

IF Elfsborg

On 23 December 2024, it was announced that Wikström had signed for IF Elfsborg on a 5 year contract and would wear the number 6.
