In October 2019, Agbasi was signed by Ghana Premier League side Dreams ahead of the 2019–20 Ghana Premier League season and was named on the squad list for the season. [1] [2] He was first included in a senior match-day squad on 29 December 2019, in the League match against King Faisal Babes at Dawu Sports Stadium (Theatre of Dreams), remaining unused as the team won 4–1.

[7] He did not feature for Dreams until 18 May 2022 (match day 29), when they faced Legon Cities. He appeared in the final six games of the season, recording four clean sheets. Over time, Agbasi established himself as a dependable goalkeeper, putting in outstanding performances thanks to his shot-stopping abilities and quick reflexes. [8] [9] [10] [11]
Agbasi lost his starting spot in the first half of the 2022–23 season to Lord Bawa Martey and Augustine Koomson. In March 2023, he regained his starting spot in a goalless draw against Karela United in March 2023. He went on to play in 13 league games, keeping 8 clean sheets in the process.

Agbasi was instrumental in Dreams' 2022–23 Ghana FA Cup run, with notable performances in the round of 16, quarter-final and semi-final. [13] [14] [15] In the semi-final against Sky Football Club, he saved a penalty in the first half and made crucial saves throughout the match to help Dreams advance to the final. [13] [16] On 18 June 2023, Agbasi started in goal in the 2023 Ghana FA Cup final against King Faisal Babes, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory to win the trophy for the first time in the club's history.
