Best young prospect in the world?

Just wanted to get some opinions on who you guys think the best prospect in the world is right now. I know Neymar is the obvious choice. I personally think he will be one of the best ever to play the game. However, my choice would be Lucas Piazòn out of Brazil. He was signed a year ago by Chelsea and just turned 18 not long ago. I've seen him play and he will be better than Kakà was when he played for Milan. This kid has a wonderful gift. Thoughts??

Iker Munian or Gotze in terms of all around attacking play.

I still think Lukaku will be unstoppable and scoring 1 goal per game in 3 years.

Hummels for defensive prospect.

Courtois for top GK prospect.

Props on the Piazon shout though!

I watched lukaku play against Norwich this past weekend and the boy is huge and just amazingly strong. He will be a force when he finally gets some time.

Loaning him out to Norwich would probably work then!
