Onuachu, who joined Trabzonspor on a loan in the 2023-2024 season and was later permanently transferred, became the sixth player in the club's history to win the Golden Boot.
In his first season with Trabzonspor, Onuachu scored 15 goals in 21 matches. This season, he contributed 22 goals, making him the top scorer of the team. Onuachu's goals helped Trabzonspor secure 43 points in 18 matches where he scored, including 13 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss.

His contributions were crucial, especially in key matches such as the 1-0 win over Kocaelispor in the first week and the 2-1 victory against Galatasaray in the 28th week. Despite not scoring in the final six matches, Onuachu secured the Golden Boot title.
Onuachu joined a list of other Golden Boot winners at Trabzonspor, including Necmi Perekli (18), Fatih Tekke (31), Şota Arveladze (25), Burak Yılmaz (33), and Alexander Sörloth (24). He also became the third foreigner to win the Golden Boot after Şota Arveladze and Alexander Sörloth.
