West Ham United face a battle over the use of London stadium should the season run into the summer.

The London Evening Standard says UK Athletics say no discussions have been held over their proposed use of the London Stadium this summer, amid suggestions West Ham will have priority over the venue if the Premier League season goes beyond the end of June.

West Ham insist they have first say on the stadium under the “overriding priority principle", while the London Legacy Development Corporation have insisted it is too early to make any decision over the stadium's ongoing use.

The parties look likely to be at loggerheads, with UKA chief Nic Coward telling The Times: “As far as we're concerned athletics has priority and nobody has spoken to us about changes in the summer, including any plans for West Ham games."
