Jonathan Kahne Téhoué (born 3 May 1984 in Paris) is a French footballer who plays for English Football League One side Leyton Orient. He is known as a super-sub amongst Leyton Orient fans, having scored nine goals after the 85th minute of various matches since he joined the club.[1]

Téhoué previously played for FC Brussels in the Belgian Jupiler League.[2] He transferred to Kasımpaşa S.K. in August 2007 and moved to Konyaspor in February 2008.[3]
After a successful trial, English Football League One club Huddersfield Town signed him subject to international clearance on 2 February 2009,[4] but, because of a contractual dispute between Téhoué and Konyaspor, this was not forthcoming. FIFA became involved, but no decision was reached in time for the deal to be completed in the 2008–09 season.[5]
Upon leaving Konyaspor, Téhoué had a short spell with French side UJA Alfortville.[6] On 12 January 2010, he was signed by Football League One club Leyton Orient on a short-term contract until the end of the 2009-10 season after impressing on a trial with the club.[7]
On 2 February 2010, Téhoué scored his first goal in English football, converting Sean Thornton's cross from close range to score the fifth in Orient's 5–0 win over Bristol Rovers. On 12 March 2010 he signed a 2½-year deal with the club which will keep him at The O's until 2012.
Tehoue scored his first goal of the 2010/11 season against Hartlepool United on Saturday 16 October 2010, smashing home from six yards in the 89th minute to earn the O's a 1–0 victory.
On 7 December 2010, Téhoué scored a late equaliser in the FA Cup Second Round against Droylsden and went on to complete a hat-trick in extra-time. His team-mate Scott McGleish also achieved a hat-trick in extra-time, ultimately guiding Orient to an 8–2 victory and a place in the third round.[8] On 20 February 2011, Téhoué came off the bench to score the late equaliser in Orient's fifth round 1–1 draw against Arsenal to earn Leyton Orient a replay at the Emirates Stadium.[9]
After four months out with a broken wrist, Tehoue made his comeback with two goals in his first two games, coming on as a substitute to score in the 74th minute to round off a 3-0 win against Exeter before netting Orient's second against Notts County in the 85th minute (again as a sub).
Contrary to reports, Téhoué is not related to Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboué. Téhoué has confirmed that they are just good friends and share Ivorian heritage. He is also friends with the many French players in the Gunners squad, such as Abou Diaby, and has known Alex Song since they played together at SC Bastia.[10]
