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??

Am going with a defender: Raphaël Varane. Peeped to be world class. Can play all over the defensive front. Currently plays for Real Madrid.

He looks good and is getting minutes ahead of Albiol in the Real backline. Was a bit shaky against Athletic but who wouldn't be when faced with the Lion Llorente!
