Martin Samuelsen has returned to West Ham after cutting short his season-long loan at Sky Bet Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
The Norway international joined Rovers in August, but found his first-team opportunities limited at Ewood Park.
He featured only four times for Owen Coyle's side, his last appearance coming in the goalless draw with Ipswich on October 15.
Coyle told the club's website: "We had a good chat and Martin's family felt that he wanted to be starting games and at this moment in time we couldn't guarantee him that, so we agreed that it was in his best interest to return to West Ham. He's a great lad and we wish him well."
The 19-year-old scored for West Ham's development squad in the 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Tuesday in their Premier League 2 fixture at Dagenham & Redbridge's Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Samuelsen joined West Ham on a free transfer in June 2015 following his release from Manchester City and spent last season on loan at Sky Bet League One side Peterborough, scoring two goals in 20 appearances.
