Ghanaian youth trio of David Atanga, Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Raphael Dwamena have won the Austrian Bundesliga title with Red Bull Salzburg.

Red Bull were declared champions of the Bundesliga on Saturday after their 1-1 stalemate with Sturm Graz.

This is the third time Red Bull have won the title in a row.

Though the trio did not play significant roles in the campaign, Atanga started the season with the senior side, playing in the Uefa Champions League preliminary rounds and early parts of the Bundesliga season.

But goalkeeper Ati-Zigi made two bench appearances for the first team but Dwamena did not make an appearance.

The trio becomes the second Ghanaian players to win their title after Daniel Amartey, Jeffrey Schlupp and Joe Dodoo won the English Premier League title with Leicester City.
