Liverpool urged to sign versatile defender Jules Kounde for £55m

A Liverpool journalist has called for the team to acquire defender Jules Kounde ahead of the summer transfer window deadline. Ian Doyle emphasizes the need for an experienced, versatile defender to bolster the squad, highlighting injury concerns from the previous season.
