Born in Techiman,[2] Abdulai moved to Spain in 2017 to join Deportivo Alavés, but paperwork issues ruled out the move.[3] He later had trials at Rio Ave (where he was also unable to sign a contract due to administrative problems) and UB Conquense, before joining Extremadura UD from Spartans FC in July 2018 on a one-year loan deal, and was assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[4] Roughly one year later, after being regularly used, he signed a permanent five-year contract with the club.[2]
Abdulai made his first team debut for Extremadura on 4 July 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for compatriot Emmanuel Lomotey in a 0–1 Segunda División away loss against CD Numancia.[5] He scored his first professional goal sixteen days later, netting his team's only in a 1–5 loss at UD Las Palmas.[6]
On 19 August 2020, Abdulai was loaned to Getafe CF, being initially assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B.[7] He made his La Liga debut with the main squad the following 3 April, replacing Carles Aleñá late into a 0–0 draw at CA Osasuna.
After signing a permanent three-year contract with Geta in 2021,[8] but suffered a serious knee injury in July of that year,[9] being sidelined for eight months.[8] On 8 August 2022, he was loaned to SD Ponferradina in the second division, for one year.[10]
