Paul-José M'Poku Ebunge[2] (born 19 April 1992) is a Congolese footballer who plays as a winger for Chievo Verona in the Serie A, on loan from Standard Liège of the Belgian Pro League.

Club career

Born in Kinshasa, Zaire, M'Poku moved to Belgium as a child. Prior to joining Tottenham Hotspur in June 2008, he had played for Belgian club Standard Liège. Representing Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier Academy League, he was a prolific scorer and was included in the squad for the FA Cup replay against Bolton Wanderers in February 2010. He has represented Belgium at youth level.[3]

On 24 September 2010, M'Poku moved to Leyton Orient on a month's loan, to last until 23 October.[4] He made his professional debut coming on as a substitute for Orient against Walsall on 28 September. After impressing Orient manager Russell Slade, M'Poku's loan was extended until 8 January 2011.[5] He scored his first goal in English football with Orient's third in the 8–2 thrashing of Droylsden in the FA Cup on 7 December.[6] His loan was subsequently extended until the end of the season.[7] He scored two league goals for Orient: their third in the 4–2 win over Colchester United on 3 January,[8] and a late 25-yard winner against Oldham Athletic on 12 March.[9] He made 35 appearances for Orient in all competitions. Without making a first team appearance at Tottenham Hotspur, he was transferred back to Standard Liège in July 2011 for an undisclosed fee.[10] M'Poku scored his first goal on 23 November 2012 in a 3–0 win against Lierse.[11]

On 1 February 2015, M'Poku signed for Cagliari on loan until the end of the season. [12]
