Club career
Early career
After he completed his form three levels of education (grade 9 in the U.S.) from St. Edwards Secondary School in Freetown, Kallon signed with the local club, Old Edwardians of the Sierra Leone National Premier League.

After the 1993–94 season, Kallon left Old Edwardians and signed for Lebanese club Tadamon Sour. Kallon is indeed spotted by Ali Abdullah, while playing a game with friends, on a beach in Freetown. Son of a Lebanese diplomat living in Sierra Leone - Lebanon then already had many businessmen in West Africa - Abdullah praised Kallon's qualities to several relatives, and managed to obtain several trials for him in Lebanon.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Eager to discover foreign countries, and pushed by his father, Kallon accepts the offer and travels with Ali Abdullah, only 15 years old. First on the side of Ajman, where the test turns out to be inconclusive, before finally catching the eye of the staff of Tadamon Sour, the club from the city of Tire. Kallon will thus spend the 1994–95 season there, scoring 15 goals in 24 games, despite six difficult first months, due in particular to the cold Lebanese winter.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
He spent one season with Spånga in Stockholm, Sweden. He was then signed by Inter Milan.[2] He was then loaned to Swiss Super League club AC Lugano, Serie A club Bologna and Cagliari, as well as Serie B club Genoa. He was farmed to Reggina and Vicenza in a co-ownership deal[3] for an undisclosed fee and 9,000 billion lire respectively (€4,648,112).[4] He played with Cristiano Zanetti at Cagliari, whom he later worked with again at Inter Milan.
Inter Milan
2001–02
After the abolition of the non-EU quota for each team halfway through the 2000–01 season,[5] Kallon returned to Italian club Inter Milan before the start of the 2001–02 season.,[6] for a reported 8,500 billion lire transfer fee (€4,389,884).[7] With Christian Vieri, Ronaldo, Álvaro Recoba, Adriano, Hakan Şükür and Nicola Ventola also in the side, Kallon was originally a third or fourth choice striker. But injuries to Ronaldo and Recoba meant that Kallon played 29 Serie A matches, scoring nine goals and becoming the team's second highest scorer of the 2001–02 Serie A season, behind Vieri, as the club narrowly missed out on the league title, finishing in third place, also reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
2002–03
He played nine times scoring five goals in Serie A in 2002–03 season due to injuries in August[8] and February, as the team managed a second-place finish in the league.[9] Kallon returned to the side in May after Gabriel Batistuta was injured in April. He also played both legs of the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League semi-final against AC Milan as Batistuta was unable to register. He played in both games as a second-half substitute, for Álvaro Recoba and Hernán Crespo respectively.
2003–04
Kallon tested positive for the banned substance nandrolone after the Serie A match against Udinese on 27 September 2003[10] and was banned from football for eight months.

He underwent a trial with Birmingham City in September 2007,[14] after previously being linked with Derby County in July.[15] However, Kallon failed to qualify for a work permit in England, as Sierra Leone ranked 79th in the FIFA World Rankings in September 1997, but the requirement was above 70th for non-EU internationals.
