Nuamah was born and raised in Asafo, a suburb of Kumasi. He started his career with Right to Dream Academy, a football academy based in Eastern Region, Ghana.

Nordsjælland

In January 2022, Nuamah joined Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjælland. He made his debut on 10 April 2022 when he came on in the 67th minute for Magnus Kofod Andersen to score an 84th minute goal in a 2–2 draw to Aarhus GF. He was adjudged as the team's man of the match at the end of the match. In September 2022 Nuamah was adjudged the young player of the month. On 19 March 2023, Nuamah scored a brace including the winning goal in a 2–1 win against Brøndby. He received the award for Danish Superliga Player of the Year at the end of the season. Nuamah started the 2023–24 season off strong, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 league victory against Viborg on 24 July 2023, the first matchday of the new campaign.

RWDM Brussels and loan to Lyon

On 30 August 2023, Nuamah joined Belgian side RWDM Brussels, before being immediately loaned to French side Lyon for the rest of the season, with a purchase option worth €25 million, plus €4.5 million in potential add-ons, in favor of the Ligue 1 club. The loan move was made possible through a common ownership between the two clubs, John Textor's Eagle Football Holdings, and was necessary to avoid Lyon's spending restrictions given by the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion (DNCG). In the process, Nuamah set a new record as Nordsjælland's highest-grossing sale. Later that year, on 8 October, he scored his first goal for Lyon in a 3–3 draw against Lorient.
