Club career

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.[http://ultimahora.es/mallorca/deportes/real-mallorca/2014/134402/kasim-adams-muestra-credenciales-debut-mallorca.html Kasim Adams muestra sus credenciales en su debut con el Mallorca (Kasim Adams shows his credentials in his Mallorca debut)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017172807/http://ultimahora.es/mallorca/deportes/real-mallorca/2014/134402/kasim-adams-muestra-credenciales-debut-mallorca.html |date=17 October 2014 }}; Última Hora, 29 September 2014 {{in lang|es}} In November he moved to CD Leganés, being assigned to the club's youth setup.[http://www.marca.com/2014/10/01/futbol/equipos/mallorca/1412166660.html Kasim, un goleador en acogida (Kasim, a goalscorer in host)]; Marca, 1 October 2014 {{in lang|es}}

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.[http://www.marca.com/2014/09/28/futbol/2adivision/1411927063.html El debutante Kasim salva al Mallorca con un doblete (Debutant Kasim saves Mallorca with a brace)]; Marca, 28 September 2014 {{in lang|es}} He was subsequently made a starter by manager Valeri Karpin, overtaking Agus and Joan Truyols.
