N'Golo Kante, 'at home' at Chelsea, dismisses Paris Saint-Germain speculation

France midfielder N'Golo Kante has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain by insisting he feels at "home" at Chelsea.

Kante, 26, joined Chelsea in 2016 after playing a key role in Leicester City's remarkable Premier League title triumph. He again proved instrumental in his debut season for Chelsea as the London club reclaimed the league title.

Despite Chelsea's struggles this season, in which Antonio Conte's side are fighting to finish in the top four and whose only trophy hopes lie in the FA Cup, Kante has maintained his impressive form.

As a result, it has led to media speculation linking French giants PSG with a move for Kante, but the midfielder has made clear his desire to remain at Chelsea.

"I am at home. It is my club, I am a Chelsea player," said Kante, who is currently on international duty with France.

"This is my second year at Chelsea. After what happened last season, it was a very good one for us because we got to celebrate winning the title.

"In the second season, I have got to play in the Champions League and we are going again to finish in the top four. We will fight until the end to finish in the top four and to get in a Champions League position.

"We also have the FA Cup to play for - it is a good competition. Last season we failed in the final. It is the only trophy we can win this season, so we have to give everything to get to the final and win it."

Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)

What is THAAD?

It is considered to be the US' most superior missile defence system.

Production:

It was first created in 2008.

Speed:

THAAD missiles can travel at over Mach 8, so fast that it is hypersonic.

Abilities:

THAAD is designed to take out projectiles, namely ballistic missiles, as they are on their downward trajectory towards their target, otherwise known as the "terminal phase".

Purpose:

To protect high-value strategic sites, such as airfields or population centres.

Range:

THAAD can target projectiles both inside and outside of the Earth's atmosphere, at an altitude of 93 miles above the Earth's surface.

Creators:

Lockheed Martin was originally granted the contract to develop the system in 1992. Defence company Raytheon sub-contracts to develop other major parts of the system, such as ground-based radar.

UAE and THAAD:

In 2011, the UAE became the first country outside of the US to buy two THAAD missile defence systems. It then deployed them in 2016, becoming the first Gulf country to do so.
