Adams, who was one of the key members for Swiss giants Young Boys was adamant he must be playing regular club football as he aims to grow in the game and snatch a regular spot in Ghana's senior national team squad.
"When I wanted to go to Hoffenheim from Young Boys. it was not only Hoffenheim who wanted me. I had Newcastle, I had Dortmund. I had Leverkusen as well but I chose to move to Hoffenheim because that was how I knew I could grow. Because I was in my early 20s so I still wanted to play more games to grow," he told MX24.
"If I had moved to a bigger club, they would have seen me as a potential key player but they had lots of experienced players already.
"At Dortmund there was Hummels. I wanted to grow in Hoffenheim and it was good because they were playing the Champions League. I was aware the team had a project of buying young talented players that's why I chose to go to Hoffenheim. Because I knew I could grow from there and then move through the process to the next step in my career," he added.
Adams, who appeared in 69 games for Young Boys before making the switch to join Hoffenheim is yet to accrue more games under his belt with the Bundesliga side despite joining in 2018.
The 28-year-old has rather been given out on loan to Fortuna Düsseldorf and FC Basel.
