London Mayor Sadiq Khan is to take over control of the London Stadium, it has been announced.

An independent review was published on Friday morning, which said there had been 'a catalogue of errors' leading to massively increased costs after the conversion from the London 2012 Olympics to West Ham's home ground.

It was a 'bungled decision that has left the taxpayer to foot an annual loss of around £20 million', the review said.
