Kasim Adams Nuhu (born 22 June 1995), also known simply as Kasim, or in Switzerland better known as Adams Nuhu, is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim and the Ghana national team.
Born in Kumasi, Kasim graduated with local Medeama SC's youth setup, and made his senior debut on 14 April 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 away draw against Heart of Lions FC in the Ghana Premier League. [2] In November he moved to CD Leganés, being assigned to the club's youth setup. [3]
In January 2014 Kasim joined RCD Mallorca in a three-year loan deal, with a €200,000 buyout clause, [2] and was initially assigned to the reserves in the Tercera División. [3] He appeared in 17 matches during the campaign and scored two goals (against Penya Ciutadella and CD Atlético Rafal), as his side returned to the Segunda División B at first attempt.
On 28 September 2014, Kasim played his first match as a professional, starting and scoring a brace in a 3–3 home draw against FC Barcelona B in the Segunda División. [4] He was subsequently made a starter by manager Valeri Karpin, overtaking Agus and Joan Truyols.
Kasim lost his first-team place after the arrival of new manager Fernando Vázquez, being demoted to fifth choice. On 25 August 2016, he was loaned from Mallorca to Swiss club BSC Young Boys, for one year. [5]
Now known as Nuhu, he was part of the Young Boys squad that won the 2017–18 Swiss Super League, their first league title for 32 years. [6] [7]
On 25 July 2018, it was announced that Kasim would join TSG Hoffenheim on a five-year contract. [8]
On 8 August 2019, he was loaned out to Fortuna Düsseldorf until the end of 2019–20 season. [9]
On 21 July 2022, Kasim joined Basel on loan, with an option to make the move permanent.

Adams Nuhu made his debut for his new club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 24 July as Basel played a 1–1 draw against Servette. [11] He scored his first goal for the team on 1 February 2023 in the away game in the Letzigrund, Zürich, during the third round of the 2022–23 Swiss Cup. It was the team's fourth goal as Basel won 5–3 against Grasshopper Club to qualify for the quarter-finals. [12] At the end of the season the club decided not to pull the buy out option and the player left the club. During his time with them, Adams Nuhu played a total of 50 games for Basel scoring a total of three goals. 28 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, three in the Swiss Cup, 15 in the UEFA Europa Conference League and four were friendly games. He scored one goal in the domestic league, one in the cup and one in the European games. [13]
