Former Arsenal managing director Keith Edelman is to step down in November from the London Legacy Development Corporation which owns the London Stadium.

But along with Nicky Dunn he has been asked to remain temporarily as LLDC nominated members to the E20 Board for a maximum of six months to ensure Board continuity during that time and enable a smooth transition to new LLDC Board members who may subsequently be nominated .
