[Getty Images] The Chelsea ownership has released a statement looking to the future after the news that chairman Todd Boehly and director Mark Walter have sold their stakes in the club to majority owner Clearlake Capital broke on Wednesday. It means Clearlake - led by co-founders Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano - have now acquired full control of the club. Boehly, Walter and Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss each had a 12.8% stake, with Clearlake previously owning 61.5% of the Blues. The statement in full: "Yesterday marked an important milestone and the beginning of the next chapter for Chelsea. "We thank our departing partners and are grateful for their contributions to the club. We move forward with a shared sense of purpose, clear direction and confidence in what comes next. "Our ambition is clear: to compete at the highest level, to win major trophies, and to build sustained success. "Chelsea FC supporters are the heart of this club and have been its true custodians for over 120 years. While we have the responsibility of ownership, this will always be your club. We are committed to listening, and building a Chelsea you can be proud of, on and off the pitch. "Success on the pitch will always be our first priority. That means competing to win the Premier League and other major trophies and strengthening the club commercially so that we can invest consistently in the team. We will also maintain our focus on Chelsea's future infrastructure – investing thoughtfully and pursuing the right long-term solutions for generations to come. "We are ambitious about what Chelsea can achieve, and equally conscious of the responsibility that comes with leading this great club. "We will keep working to move Chelsea forward – together."
