Ebenezer Kofi Assifuah-Inkoom (born 3 July 1993) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Malaysia Super League club Kedah Darul Aman.

Before moving to Swiss club Sion, he played for Liberty Professionals in his home country of Ghana. Assifuah has been described as a striker with power and scoring ability. Although he naturally is right-footed, he has successfully used his left foot.

Assifuah is a former Ghana international. At youth level, he played for the Ghana U20s. In 2016, he won this first cap for the Ghana national team, and was selected for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

Assifuah began his career with the Division One team Sekondi Eleven Wise where he attracted attention after scoring eight times in the Ghanaian Division One League.

At the end of the 2011–12 Poly Tank Division One League season, and after his success in the games of the 2013 African U-20 Championship qualification, Assifuah was highly sought after by top teams in Ghana including Ebusua Dwarfs.

Assifuah signed a three-year contract with premiership side Liberty Professionals. He took some time to settle at Liberty Professionals after his move from Sekondi Eleven Wise. On the 2012 Boxing Day, he rediscovered his form and scored four goals against Berekum Chelsea. Prior to the end of the African Youth Championship, Assifuah had attracted the attention scouts of Italian Serie A side Udinese, and a move was deemed likely.

After being top goal scorer at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey, Assifuah moved to the Swiss side Sion signing a five-year contract. Assifuah scored his first goal in the Swiss Super League in his second game against leaders FC Basel on 28 September 2013. In the 2014–15 Swiss Cup final, he played 75 minutes of the match as Sion beat FC Basel 3–0 to win the Swiss Cup.

On 1 October 2015, Assisfuah was in the headlines at Anfield after scoring the equaliser for his team in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League match against Liverpool, that was his debut goal in any European club competition.
