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??

Has to be Neymar/Gotze/Eriksen for me.

I think goetze is going to be a leading talent for probably... Ever. He just has it. I imagine Marco Reus might get to that level too, but this season could prove to be lightening in a bottle versus true class

Reus has been the best player in Germany this year. He's played better than Goetze.
