Edward Opoku Yeboah Alexander (born 1 August 1996) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a winger. He previously appeared at the senior level with AC Connecticut, Columbus Crew SC, Saint Louis FC, and Birmingham Legion.

Following his freshman season at Virginia, Opoku joined AC Connecticut of the Premier Development League (PDL). He made his club debut three games into the campaign, entering as a substitute in a 2–2 draw with Westchester Flames on 28 May 2016. Opoku went on to appear four times during the year, tallying just a shot and a yellow card in his time on the pitch.

As a junior, Opoku tallied multiple career-highs: eight goals and four assists in 20 appearances. He scored five times through the first six matches of the year, punctuating that stretch with two goals in a victory over Virginia Tech on 15 September 2017. Opoku added a golden goal in a victory over Portland on 2 October, the eighth game-winning goal of his career. He capped the season with his third consecutive all-conference honour, earning a spot on the All- ACC Second Team. Opoku departed Virginia following the year, ending his collegiate career with 16 goals in 56 appearances for the Cavaliers.

In 2018, Opoku started the clothing brand BeHappy, inspired by and named after his lifelong motto. The goal behind the brand was “to highlight the happy moments in average days, as people around the world do the same in their varied situations.” Profits from the company were donated to the Fifi Soccer Foundation, a program founded by fellow Ghanaian and former Crew SC player Fifi Baiden.

Opoku was ranked as the ninth-best player in the high school class of 2015 by College Soccer News. He committed to play college soccer at Virginia, part of a recruiting class that ranked second in the nation and also included Derrick Etienne.
