Eto'o: Neymar will become the best in the world

If Neymar works hard he will soon be the best player in the world, says former Barcelona and Real Madrid forward Samuel Eto'o.

Samuel Eto'o is in no doubt that Neymar will be the best player in the world once Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo are past their peak.

The trio make up the shortlist for the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or, an accolade which the Argentine and the Portuguese have dominated for the past seven years.

Former Barcelona and Madrid forward Eto'o is confident if Neymar applies himself appropriately, he will be the sport's leading performer in the future.
